Let's examine each version in order to understand ITIL's evolution. ITIL v1

To counteract the poor quality of IT services purchased by the British government, the CCTA introduced the initial iteration of ITIL in the late 1980s. The four main ideas of ITIL v1 were as follows: Manages availability of IT services (infrastructure, procedures, tools, roles, etc.) in accordance with business needs.

Managing on and takes care of any resource and service-related performance-related issues.

Management of contingencies: Aids in spotting weaknesses and aids in averting such situations.

Cost management: Assists in providing and managing IT resources and assets at a reasonable cost.

ITIL v2

All the ITIL-related publications were combined into nine books with the release of ITIL v2, which was in 2001. The two books with the greatest circulation for this version were: Clear procedures are provided for managing service outages as part of the service support.

A set of guidelines, regulations, and restrictions that are utilised in the planning, development, and deployment of services.

In contrast to ITIL v3, this version did not have a structured service lifecycle. Provides strategies for efficiently and effectively designing IT services.

Planning, creating, testing, and delivering services into client environments are all included in the concept of service transition.

Service operations: Reduces the likelihood of service failure and ensures that only authorised users have access to IT services.

Constant service improvement makes ensuring that IT services are consistently in line with evolving business requirements.

ITIL 2011 v3

This edition has a few key revisions that update the ideas of ITIL v3: Service strategy: For those who develop and carry out an IT strategy that complies with business needs, ITIL 2011 V3 recommended a new service called service strategy manager.

Implements technical standards into the service design process and coordinates efforts across all designs.
