How ITIL V4 Certification will help your career.

Apart from being a de facto global standard, ITIL provides a perspective around managing Information Technology Infrastructure that begins with alignment with the customer’s needs. ITIL provides a lifecycle approach to all aspects. Be it an employee, businessman, or entrepreneur, you can have a great career with your ITIL V4 Certification.

You can follow to manage your own required operations.

1. ITIL Service Strategy
2. ITIL Service Design
3. ITIL Service Transition
4. ITIL Service Operation
5. ITIL Continual Service Improvement

As an entrepreneur, you will find that developing a strategy will improve your chances for success significantly through the management of your strategy, the establishment of a portfolio of services, management of finances, understanding the demand for your services, and managing the relationship with your clients.

The remaining stages deal with the design of the core requirements of the IT organization, the transition of the services into an operational model, the actual day-to-day operations, and – most important for the sustainability and survivability of your business – proactive resolution of problems and improved decision-making activities.

Associating the ITIL lifecycle to your business is a great place to start and, as an IT consultant, it does provide the basis for a common language, a standard approach, and guidance to the management of IT.

Being an employee in any IT sector, if you are going to be a part of a project wherein you are going to create a product for the business then you need to learn the practices of IT Project Management practices recorded for the project. Once the product is delivered to the business, and the Project is over, then an IT team will be required to monitor, support, maintain, change and decommission (if required) this will be an IT service to the business, for which you need Service Management.

A huge scope if you put in the years for any of the roles.

Experience

Knowing ITIL just means you are familiar with the best practices in the IT industry. It also gives you a common language for IT. By itself, it has little value but combined with your experience and other credentials it is a career booster.

To simply put it, your career in ITIL is directly proportional to the number of years of experience in the IT field. More the experience, the more the value, and the more the demand.
