Frequently Asked Questions
What is ITIL?
Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is a globally recognized set of best practices and standards for IT service management (ITSM). Its main goal is to align IT services with business needs and objectives.
What are the main benefits of ITIL?
ITIL aligns IT services with business needs — it cuts costs, boosts system reliability, and improves user satisfaction. It creates a common language between IT and the business, improves service quality, and makes it possible to measure the value services deliver.
How does ITIL differ from other methodologies?
ITIL governs IT services,
COBIT is a framework for IT governance and risk management, and
PRINCE2 governs projects.
ITSM is the broader discipline, and ITIL is its most widely used framework. Agile and
DevOps speed up development and the rollout of changes, while ITIL ensures they run in a standardized way — these approaches complement each other rather than compete.
