About this Course

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 stage at a management level. The Service Transition stage confirms that new or changed service are built, tested, accepted and deployed by leveraging Change, Release, Configuration and Knowledge Management.
