Technology evolves quickly. Your framework should too.
ITIL® Foundation (Version 5) is the next evolution of the world’s most recognised IT service management framework. Built for the realities of modern digital organisations, it retains the core concepts, guiding principles, and Service Value System that ITIL professionals already know and trust, so your existing knowledge isn’t lost, it’s built upon.
But ITIL (Version 5) goes further. By expanding the framework into a unified model for managing digital products and services end-to-end, it gives teams a shared language that works across IT, product, and business functions and breaking down the silos that slow delivery and frustrate customers.
New AI-native guidance prepares professionals to work confidently in AI-enabled environments, not just understand them. A redesigned eight-stage digital product and service lifecycle brings clarity to how value is created, delivered, and improved.

ITSM, or IT Service Management, involves applying policies, procedures, and best practices to optimise IT services for both clients and employees, enhancing efficiency and satisfaction.
ITIL (Version 5) is the next evolution of ITIL, the world’s most widely adopted framework for IT service management. Building on the foundations of previous ITIL versions, it expands the framework beyond traditional IT service management into a unified model for managing digital products and services end-to-end covering everything from discovery and design through to delivery, support, and continual improvement.
Where earlier versions focused primarily on IT services, ITIL (Version 5) reflects the way modern organisations actually operate: digitally-led, product-centric, and increasingly shaped by AI. It provides the common language, guiding principles, and practical best practices that teams across IT, product, and business functions need to deliver consistent value, adopt AI responsibly, and improve continuously.
Originally, ITIL stood for ‘Information Technology Infrastructure Library.’ However, as the framework has evolved with frequent updates, it is no longer considered a static ‘library.’ Currently, ITIL doesn’t stand for anything but continues to be a leading model for IT service optimisation.
Students must initially pass ‘ITIL Foundation’. Once a student has obtained ‘ITIL Foundation,’ they can go on to pass the ‘Practice Manager,’ ‘Managing Professional’ or ‘Strategic Leader’ streams. Obtaining all of the Practice Manager,’ ‘Managing Professional’ and ‘Strategic Leader’ certifications allows students to become an ‘ITIL Master.’
Students interested in a specific area of ITSM can take one of the four ITIL extension modules. These do not contribute to the ITIL Pathway.
ITIL certification can significantly enhance a professional’s earning potential. According to Payscale, certified ITIL practitioners can earn between $51,000 and over $259,000 annually, varying by experience, role, and certification level.
ITIL provides users with a set of best practices for creating optimised IT services. It establishes cultures of continuous improvement, ensuring that users can enjoy long-term benefits with IT services continually aligned with business goals and strategies. It also offers proven practices for resource optimisation and continuous improvement.
ITIL is a modern framework that fully equips users to optimise their IT practices. It creates cultures of continuous improvement, enabling organisations to deliver top-quality IT products and services whilst also continually reviewing their own processes.
The framework is also highly adaptable and can work alongside other popular approaches, such as DevOps. Finally, the framework is set to continue evolving to accommodate developments in technology and best practices. This makes ITIL future-proof for practitioner organisations.
PeopleCert is the owner of and accrediting body for a number of best practice frameworks, including PRINCE2, PRINCE2 Agile, MSP, ITIL 4, and AgileSHIFT.
ITIL 4 seamlessly integrates with other frameworks such as Agile, DevOps, Lean, and PRINCE2, enhancing its adaptability and applicability across various organisational contexts.
