What is ITIL® (Version 5)?

ITIL (Version 5) is the latest evolution of the world’s leading framework for managing digital products and services. It provides modern, practical guidance to help organizations design, deliver, operate, and continually improve value in today’s fast-changing, technology-driven environment.

Building on the foundations of ITIL 4, ITIL (Version 5) reflects the realities of modern business, including artificial intelligence, automation, digital platforms, and product-led operating models.


Designed for Modern Digital Organizations

ITIL (Version 5) recognizes that value is created through integrated products, platforms, and services, rather than isolated IT services. It provides guidance across the entire organization, from strategy and leadership to operations and support, helping teams align their work with business goals.


AI-Native and Complexity-Ready

The framework supports organizations working in AI-enabled and highly automated environments. It helps professionals adapt to change, make informed decisions, and manage complex digital ecosystems responsibly.


Integrated Product and Service Lifecycle

At the core of ITIL (Version 5) is the Product and Service Lifecycle, which includes eight activities:

Discover, Design, Acquire, Build, Transition, Operate, Deliver, and Support.

This provides a clear, end-to-end view of how digital products and services are created and sustained.


Focus on Digital Experience and Value

ITIL (Version 5) places strong emphasis on user experience and measurable outcomes. It helps organizations understand how stakeholders experience value and how performance can be continually improved.


Practical and Career-Focused Framework

ITIL (Version 5) offers applied, real-world guidance supported by a clear certification structure. It enables professionals to develop relevant skills while helping organizations improve performance and support digital transformation.


An Evolution of ITIL

ITIL (Version 5) builds on proven ITIL principles and practices, ensuring continuity with earlier versions. Existing knowledge and certifications remain valuable, enabling a smooth transition.
