Information Technologies Services Management
Objectives
The course's main objective is to present an overview of IT Service Management, strategically aligned to business needs, with a set of practices defined by ITIL 4 (Information Technology Infrastructure Library).
ITIL 4 brings ITIL up to date in 2019 by reshaping much of the established ITSM practices in the wider context of customer experience, value streams, and digital transformation, as well as embracing new ways of working, such as Lean, Agile, and DevOps.
Through practical exercises, it will be possible to understand the importance of having internationally recognized integrated practices for the management of IT services and its application to real cases.
Additionally, this course prepares students for the international certification in "ITIL 4 Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management", recognized by the "United Kingdom Cabinet Office" as part of the "UK Government's portfolio of Best Management Practice".
