ITIL
Origin:
ITIL has its origins in Great Britain, specifically the British
Office of Government Commerce. ITIL has quickly got success
worldwide according to its results and the accession of large
private and public enterprises. The original version of ITIL did
not consider the technical side of IT. From third version, its
scope has been revised and several key aspects in the
organization are concerned. Many departments and agencies of
the Government of Quebec and the federal government of
Canada make use of ITIL as a reference in IT Service
Management.

We have three categories of activities:
oValue added : Directly useful to the client.
o Business value added: useful / requirement for business only.
oNon value added : useless, pur waste.
In continual improvment of process and service, we aim to
minimise the BVA and elimate the NVA.
Service: It is a way to provide value to customers.
According to ITIL, service value is a function of two things:
Utility : The service fit customer’s needs and expectation.
Warranty: The service is fit for use. Ensures the availability,
capacity and security.

ITIL Service Lifecycle
The full life cycle of ITIL consists of five steps:
1. Service Strategy : It is the phase in which the objectives are
determined and decisions are made. The hierarchy is much
more involved in this phase.
2. Service design : The design phase for the development of
services based on the strategic vision. The design aims to meet
present and future business. Converts the strategic goals into
services available within a portfolio of services.
