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.

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!
