I was speaking with some ITIL Experts last week and they asked me if there is any value in someone getting V3 certified since ITIL 4 releases in 2019. Here is my answer. Take a look and let me know your thoughts.<\/p>\n

First off, great question. There is a lot of confusion over the ITIL 4 release as many of the details are still under wraps. From a 10,000 foot look we all know that we live in a world of updates and change does not happen overnight. Companies have infrastructures and processes and systems in place and they don\u2019t throw them away when a new version is released. And most new versions include key elements of the current version, so the baby is not being thrown out with the bath water.<\/p>\n

ITIL V3 Is Alive & Well<\/h3>\n

Right now, ITIL is V3.\u00a0 V3 is alive and well and will be maintained until at least June 2020.\u00a0 The ITIL 4 Foundation is being released Q1 2019 \u2013 or sometime in the next 4 months. The remainder of the ITIL 4 courses are scheduled to be released sometime June 2019 to December 2019.<\/p>\n

Migration Game Plan<\/h3>\n

If I were new to ITIL and had funds for exams, I would get V3 Foundation and ITIL 4 Foundation Certified.\u00a0 ITIL V3 Foundation is required for many positions and I don\u2019t see that requirement going away for the next 12 months minimum. ITIL 4 Foundation is new and takes ITIL to the next level and if I wanted to be fully prepared to help my company transition from ITIL V3 to ITIL 4 or have certifications that helped me stand out, get promoted or get a new job, then I would get ITIL 4 Foundation Certified too. If I was already ITIL V3 Foundation Certified, I would get ITIL 4 Foundation Certified for the same reasons.<\/p>\n

For the more advanced V3 certificate holders I would come up to speed on ITIL 4 by reading the book when it is released or taking a class. In my opinion there is no need for advanced certificate holders to get the ITIL 4 Foundation certificate. Advanced ITIL 3 Certificate holders (17 V3 credits or more) will be able to take the ITIL 4 Managing Professional transition course when it is released second half of 2019 and achieve the new ITIL 4 Managing Professional Certification.\u00a0 This enables individuals with 17 or more ITIL V3 credits to take 1 course instead of 4 to become ITIL 4 Managing Professional Certified. If you are on your way to 17 credits in ITIL V3, keep going as it will allow you accelerated access to the ITIL 4 Managing Professional Certification.<\/p>\n
