In May 2007, the ITIL® management framework was comprehensively updated from V2 to V3 – with V2 fully withdrawn in 2010.
However, ITIL is continually refreshed and updated to make sure that it meets industry requirements, and a the latest new edition is being released on 29 July 2011.
This latest edition of ITIL incorporates improvements and suggested changes to the framework.
If you want to test your knowledge of ITIL – why not try our interactive ITIL quiz. You can also check out our full range or ITIL courses here.
What’s New in the ITIL 2011 Update?
The first thing to be clear on is that ITIL 2011 is an update, not a new version (like V2-V3). The updates to the publications are designed to:
- Resolve any errors or inconsistencies in the text and diagrams, both in content and presentation.
- Improve the publications by addressing issues which are largely to do with clarity, consistency, correctness and completeness.
- Address suggestions for change made by the training community to make ITIL easier to teach.
- Review the Service Strategy publication to ensure that the concepts are explained in the clearest, most concise and accessible way possible. There is no notion of simplifying the concepts; rather, improving the exposition of the ideas.
The updated publications will be easier to read and understand, having addressed errors and inconsistencies, and issues raised in the Change Control Log and by the training community.
The project’s primary objective was to respond to users’ feedback and requirements, and provides them with an improved product.

The ITIL Service Management methodology has now been in place since 2007, and is well established as the industry standard qualification framework for IT Service Management.
The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) who are responsible for ITIL recently conducted a survey, and found that less than 8% of the 1300 responses they received felt that there was a need for the old ITIL V2 qualification framework to be continued beyond the next 2 years.
They have therefore taken the decision to withdraw all ITIL V2 qualifications and publications by the end of 2010, being completely replaced by ITIL V3.
Silicon Beach Training provide regular public ITIL Training courses in Brighton.
The ITIL V2 withdrawal will occur in stages, and the timetable for withdrawal is as follows:

An interesting story we found on BBC News…
A PRINCE2 and ITIL qualified Project Manager from Reading who was recently made redundant has come up with an innovative way of putting himself in front of potential employers.
Gordon Wildflynn was made redundant in June, and when traditional methods of job-hunting failed he took matters in to his own hands and placed estate-agent style placards by the roads near to hi-tech employers in the area.
