Service Transition

Service Transition
This publication offers guidance on managing service transition from design specification, change configuration, test, release and deployment. Service transition requires effective management of knowledge, organisational culture and transition in difficult circumstances. The volume is derived form decades of IT service management experience and is applicable to all sizes and types of organisations.

ITIL Version 3's (V3) service lifecycle-based practice incorporates the best of V1 and V2 and tests current best practice for ITSM. Service Transition provides guidance and process activities for the transition of services in the operational business environment. It covers the broader, long-term change management role, release and deployment practices, so that risks, benefits, delivery mechanisms and the support of ongoing operational services are considered.
