Following the successful launch of ITIL® 4, with the higher modules from the Managing Professional and Strategic Leader streams establishing themselves in the market - AXELOS has taken the decision to stop offering the previous version of the World’s leading certification in IT Service Management, ITIL V3, by the end of 2021.
There will be a phased approach to discontinuing the Foundation and Intermediate examinations to allow you enough time to complete your ITIL V3 Intermediate level certifications, so you can accumulate enough credits to qualify for the Transition examination.
Please Note: The confirmed timings are as follows:
Our ITIL® Release, Control and Validation course is one of the four ITIL® Capability courses that builds on the knowledge gained from the ITIL® Foundation Certificate. Capability phases are for those who wish to gain a deeper level of understanding of the ITIL® processes and roles, how they are implemented and interact.
Our Release, Control and Validation course covers principles and processes that allow you to manage the implementation of new or changed services, and handle requests for access to them.
It will also take you through an explanation of these fundamentals and show how they drive the need for ensuring that during the transitional activities all aspects of the service and its requirements are considered and managed in a controlled fashion.
Our ITIL® Release, Control and Validation course contains 11 easy to absorb lessons covering ITIL® terminology, structure, concepts and processes.
ITIL® Release, Control & Validation Online (150 Days) Includes:
Your access duration time starts as soon as you access the course, or after 28 days - whichever is sooner.
Service Transition is the phase of the ITIL® Lifecycle responsible for the transitioning of new or changed services into the live environment.
Many organisations deliver significant change through formal projects, and the failure to ensure that projects address the full Service Management and operational requirements as well as the functional requirements can be a costly, or even fatal, mistake to an organisation.
Service Transition ensures that the transition processes are streamlined, effective and efficient, so that the risk of delay of deploying solutions into the live environment is minimised.
You will gain an understanding on how Release, Control and Validation forms the core of the Service Transition stage of the ITIL® Lifecycle, and works to try and ensure only beneficial changes are introduced into the production environment, in a controlled fashion.
It will also become apparent from the training that service transition needs to ensure that all requirements for the service are considered during the build/test/deployment phase, including people, (both the business and IT), processes, measurements and metrics, knowledge, tools etc. If we are to create the expected and required organisational value.
By having a better understanding of the best-practice framework, and in this particular course, Release, Control and Validation, it will enable you to identify areas for improvement back at the workplace, and allow you to develop your current role further, and help you do your job better.The reward being advancement within your company and a potential to increase your salary!
