Organisations managing digital products and services require more than operational stability; they need a shared, modern framework that reflects evolving technologies, governance expectations, and value creation models. This course bridges existing ITIL 4 knowledge with the expanded concepts introduced in ITIL (Version 5), addressing gaps critical to managing digital products and services in complex, data‑driven environments. Participants will examine how value is co‑created through service relationships, governance, value streams, and lifecycle management, while understanding how ITIL has evolved to support automation, artificial intelligence, and contemporary ways of working. The course is delivered through structured modules led by trainers, combining conceptual explanations with practical examples to demonstrate how ITIL (Version 5) principles and models are applied across different organisational contexts and maturity levels.

Understand digital product and service management within the ITIL (Version 5) framework
