ITIL V3, originally developed by a UK government department and now managed by the Office of Government Commerce, emphasizes good practices in IT service management rather than strict prescriptions. It addresses key aspects of IT operations, excluding development, and requires organizations to formalize their own Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This framework is crucial for creating value through services by understanding business outcomes, customer needs, and defining service utility and warranty. Studying ITIL can lead to certification and effective management of IT services.
