- ITIL Lifecycle Course: Service Transition

Course Length: 3 days

Course Overview
The difference between a successful and failed IT Service often lies in the quality of its transition from the development to the production environment. Based on the Service Transition publication of the ITIL library, this Lifecycle course looks at the whole Service Transition phase at a management level. The Service Transition phase confirms that new or changed service are built, tested, accepted and deployed by leveraging Change, Release, Configuration and Knowledge Management. This course explores the high level goals, objectives, processes, common activities and technologies needed to successfully deploy a service into the live environment. The course culminates with the ITIL Intermediate Service Transition certification examination.

Embedded into the three (3) day Service Transition course is the unique virtualization, Living the Lifecycle®. Woven through all H2 Performance Consulting's ITIL Certification classes, this virtualization brings concepts and processes to life. Within a virtual business environment, as a group, we introduce a service and then follow it from strategic decision through implementation.

This virtualization successfully enables active learning by encouraging the participants to:
• Discuss and understand pure ITIL concepts
