Defined as “a set of organizational resources for performing work or accomplishing an objective,” there are 34 ITIL management practices in total, representing some of the most practical resources within the ITIL framework.

While the ITIL 4 Foundation course introduces these management practices as foundational concepts, hands-on learning and the application of these concepts occur in the practice modules. Validation of these skills is achieved through certification. Each individual practice course is designed for professionals who wish to demonstrate and validate their expertise in specific practice areas, but certification as a Practice Manager requires a broader set of skills across a minimum of 5 practices within three management practice domains:

• Monitor, Support, and Fulfill
• Plan, Implement, and Control
• Collaborate, Assure, and Improve

If you are an IT professional interested in achieving the Practice Manager qualification, your goal is to establish effective cross-practice collaboration and service value streams within your organization. To achieve this, you must complete any 5 individual practices plus the ITIL Specialist: Create, Deliver, and Support module, or you can complete one of the 3-day domain-based bundles plus the ITIL Specialist: Create, Deliver, and Support module. This approach ensures that professionals are well-equipped to support and enhance IT service management processes for government operations.
