Apply the seven guiding principles, such as focus on value, start where you are, and keep it simple and practical, to adopt and adapt ITIL practices to real workplace needs.
Describe the six service value chain activities, plan, improve, engage, design and transition, obtain or build, and deliver and support, and how they combine into value streams.
