Why ITIL v4 matters so much for you as an IT consultant

Want to really master IT service management? Then start by studying ITIL v4. At Projinit we aim to deliver IT services at the highest level. One of the ways we achieve this is by certifying our people in ITIL v4, a crucial framework for IT service management and mandatory knowledge for many clients.

What is ITIL v4?

ITIL stands for Information Technology Infrastructure Library and is the global standard for managing IT services. It offers a clear structure for delivering efficient and effective IT services, based on best practices.

ITIL was first developed in the 1980s by the British government as a set of guidelines for IT management. Over the years the framework evolved to better match rapid developments in technology. ITIL v4, the latest version, puts even more emphasis on flexibility, collaboration and the integration of modern ways of working such as Agile and DevOps.

The main components

1. Service Value System (SVS): a model that brings together all components of an organisation to create value.
2. The four dimensions of service management: organisations and people, information and technology, partners and suppliers, and value streams and processes.
3. Practices: 34 best practices divided across general, service management and technical disciplines.
4. Continual Improvement: continuously improving services based on feedback and data.

The guiding principles

1. Focus on value: always consider what adds value for the customer.
2. Start where you are: build on existing resources and processes.
3. Progress iteratively with feedback: small steps with regular evaluations.
4. Collaborate and promote visibility: involve teams and increase transparency.
5. Think and work holistically: consider the whole organisation when managing services.

These elements help organisations be more flexible and innovative in a fast-changing IT environment.
