ITIL® Service Capability: Planning, Protection, and Optimization On-Site Training

ITIL® Service Capability: Planning, Protection, and Optimization

Course Description/Agenda

In this course, you will be immersed in the practical aspects of the ITIL service lifecycle and processes associated with the planning, protection, and optimization (PPO) of services and service delivery. You will focus on the operational-level process activities and supporting methods and learn to execute these processes in a practical, hands-on learning environment. This training is intended to enable you to apply the practices throughout the service management lifecycle.

This course includes lecture, exercises, and scenario-based exam questions to increase your understanding of the core disciplines of ITIL best practices and position you to successfully complete the associated exam. The exam is offered on the last day of the course at 1:00 pm.

The main process and function focus areas of this course include:

• Demand management
• Capacity management
• Availability management
• IT service continuity management (ITSM)
• Information security management (ISM)

Please note: The ITIL Foundation certification is required to take the exam at the end of class. Proof of certification must be provided no later than the first day of class.
