ITIL's most recent version, V3, represents an important evolutionary step in its life. The refresh has transformed the guidance from providing a great service to being the most innovative and best in class. At the same time, the interface between old and new approaches is seamless so that users do not have to reinvent the wheel when adopting it. V3 allows users to build on the successes of V2 but take IT service management even further.
In general, V3 makes the link between ITIL's best practice and business benefits both clearer and stronger. The main development is that V3 takes a lifecycle approach to guidance, as opposed to organising according to IT delivery sectors. ITIL is now based on a core of five titles:
- Service Strategy
- Service Design
- Service Transition
- Service Operation
- Continual Service Improvement
The changes reflect the way ITSM has matured over the past decades. For example:
- Where V2 talked about Business and IT Alignment, V3 emphasises Business and IT integration.
- Where V2 talked about Value Chain Management, V3 emphasises Value Network Integration.
- Where V2 talked about Linear Service Catalogues, V3 emphasises Dynamic Service Portfolios.
- Where V2 talked about Collection of integrated processes, V3 emphasises Holistic Service Management Lifecycle.
