In terms of differences, the main thing that I see is that the Tesla hit the market fully ready to drive whereas the \u00a0AXELOS release of ITIL 4 is taking more than a year. \u00a0The Foundation course was released and then Managing Professional Transition for people with a strong ITIL V3 background.\u00a0 However, for others wanting more information to understand how to adopt and adapt ITIL 4 into their organizations, we are just now getting the details and it will not be fully released until the second half of 2020.<\/p>\n
