WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?
IT4IT & ITIL DEVOPS & IT4IT
• ITIL does come from a
planned sequential
background
• DevOps is primarily a
cultural approach to
improvement
• Can we ever reconcile
those differences?
ITIL & DEVOPS
• DevOps is based
around Culture,
Automation, Lean,
Measurement, Sharing
• IT4IT is a prescriptive
model
• Which works best for
you?
• IT4IT is an information
model
• ITIL is a process based
model
• Recognition of the
limitations of ITIL?
HOW DO WE PICK
WHICH TO USE?
• What are the problems that you currently
have?
• What are you trying to achieve?
• What skills do you have and need?
• What does your business need?
• What des your business understand?
SUMMARY
• There are many frameworks out there
• On face value, they have significant differences in basis and language
• However, upon inspection they have many similarities
• This is because they touch upon some widely agreed principles
• Use the best from multiple frameworks
• Think about how your business will perceive this when choosing
• Think about how multiple frameworks will fit together and when that matches your
organisation
