Foreword

This concise summary offers a practical introduction to the content of the five ITIL core books. It is based on ITIL 2011 Edition, and explains the structure of the service lifecycle, and the processes and functions of each stage. It also provides support for all the existing users of previous ITIL editions that are looking for a bridge to the new edition.

The 2011 update resolved errors and inconsistencies, and improved clarity, consistency, correctness, and completeness. The Service Strategy book was revised in order to explain the concepts in a clear, concise, and accessible way.

This pocket guide provides the reader with a quick reference to the basic concepts of ITIL. Readers can use the Van Haren Publishing publication “Foundations of ITIL” or the ITIL core volumes (Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation and Continual Service Improvement) for more detailed understanding and guidance.

This pocket guide was produced in the same way as other Van Haren Publishing publications: a broad team of expert editors, expert authors and expert reviewers contributed to a comprehensive text, and a great deal of effort was spent on the development and review of the manuscript.

I’m convinced that this pocket guide will provide an excellent reference tool for practitioners, students and others who want a concise summary of the key ITIL concepts.

Following the official publication of ITIL, this pocket guide was developed as a concise summary of the ITIL core books, by the authors of the publication “Foundations of ITIL”. The text is an update of the ITIL V3 Pocket Guide, that was produced by the editors and reviewers of the ITIL Foundation publication. All members of IPESC, itSMF International’s Publication Committee, were invited to participate in the original review, and thirteen itSMF chapters actively participated.

The integrated Review Team was composed of the following:

•   Rob van der Burg, Microsoft, Netherlands

•   Judith Cremers, Getronics PinkRoccade Educational Services, Netherlands

•   Dani Danyluk, Burntsand, itSMF Canada

•   John Deland, Sierra Systems, itSMF Canada

•   Robert Falkowitz, Concentric Circle Consulting, itSMF Switzerland

•   Karen Ferris, itSMF Australia

•   Peter van Gijn, Logica, Netherlands

•   Jan Heunks, ICT Partners, Netherlands

•   Kevin Holland, NHS, UK

•   Ton van der Hoogen, Tot Z Diensten BV, Netherlands

•   Matiss Horodishtiano, Amdocs, itSMF Israel

•   Wim Hoving, BHVB, Netherlands

•   Brian Johnson, CA, USA

•   Steve Mann, Opsys-sm2, itSMF Belgium

•   Reiko Morita, Ability InterBusiness Solutions, Inc., Japan

•   Ingrid Ouwerkerk, Getronics PinkRoccade Educational Services, Netherlands

•   Ton Sleutjes, Capgemini Academy, Netherlands

•   Maxime Sottini, iCONS – Innovative Consulting S.r.l., itSMF Italy

The 2011 update of the ITIL pocket guide was reviewed by a smaller section of this Review Team, since it only involved a limited update:

•   Rob van der Burg, Microsoft, Netherlands

•   John Deland, Sierra Systems, itSMF Canada

•   Peter van Gijn, Logica, Netherlands

•   Kevin Holland, NHS, UK

•   Steve Mann, Opsys-sm2, itSMF Belgium

•   Reiko Morita, Ability InterBusiness Solutions, Inc., Japan

All reviewers spent their valuable hours on a detailed review of the text, answering the core question “Is the content a correct reflection of the core content of ITIL, given the limited size of a pocket guide?”. Providing several hundreds of valuable improvement issues, they contributed significantly to the quality of this pocket guide, and we thank them for that.

Due to the expert services of the Review Team and the professional support by the editors team, the resulting pocket guide is an excellent entry into the core ITIL books. We are very satisfied with the result, which will be of great value for people wanting to get a first high-level grasp of what ITIL is really all about.
