The ITIL® Planning, protection and optimisation course is one of the four phases of the ITIL® Capability cycle of courses. Where the ITIL® Lifecycle courses concentrate on the processes themselves, these courses also concentrate on the Management angle of the ITIL® Lifecycle.
Planning, protection and optimisation covers the purpose, objectives, value to the business, service design basics, scope and service design’s role within the ITIL® Lifecycle and the role of design coordination to ensure that what we deliver to our organisations meets their requirements and supports the outcomes they need to achieve to be successful.
This five-day course will take you through an explanation of these fundamentals and show how they drive the need for ensuring that during the design activities all aspects of the service and its requirements throughout its lifecycle are considered, and to facilitate the introduction of these services into supported environments ensuring quality service delivery, customer satisfaction and cost-effective service provision.
The course ends with a one and a half hour, scenario based, eight question multiple-choice exam, with the pass mark being 28/40 (70%). You will be appropriately prepared for this by our tutors throughout the course, and will sit two mock exams to raise your confidence levels.
