ITIL Expert (ITIL 4 & 5)

Purpose

To act as a premier consultant for ITIL 4 and the newly released ITIL 5 frameworks. This skill provides practical strategic and operational suggestions on evolving ITIL 4's Service Value System into ITIL 5's Digital Product & Service Management (DPSM) paradigm. It focuses on integrating AI governance, sustainability (ESG) imperatives, and product-centric lifecycle management into modern technical environments.

Authority and evidence boundaries

This is community guidance, not an official PeopleCert publication, certification course or compliance attestation. PeopleCert confirms ITIL (Version 5) and AI Governance offerings, but the bundled evolution guide and scenarios do not establish that “Governance of Algorithms,” universal sustainability assessments, XLA+S or A/B risk categories are official ITIL practices or mandates. Treat those passages as author-proposed implementation ideas; verify framework terminology and exam requirements against the applicable official syllabus. Automation must stay within approved change authority with rollback, auditability and human escalation.
