Delegates can expect to learn about each of these aspects in detail, as well as how to design processes, the function of service level management, and when service catalogues and service catalogue management should be used. The course goes on to discuss availability, capacity, and IT service continuity management, before considering the role of information security in service design.

Retired: ​ITIL® Service Capability - Service Offerings and Agreements (ITIL® SOA) Course Overview 

This 5-day ITIL® Service Offerings and Agreements course provides a comprehensive overview of practices for the Service Design and Service Strategy areas of the lifecycle and prepares you to take the Service Offerings and Agreements exam, leading to the ITIL® SOA certification. The exam is included.

ITIL® Service Offerings and Agreements is one of the nine ITIL® Intermediate courses which can be mixed and matched to gain the credits needed for the ITIL® Expert certification, and one of the four courses which make up the Service Capability Stream. Service Offerings and Agreements concerns practices for portfolio, service level, catalogue, demand, supplier, and financial management.

This Service Offerings and Agreements course covers a wide range of areas in relation to service offerings, from service catalogue management to supplier management and financial management. Touching first on service portfolio management, the course explains the scope and value of this practice, its constituent processes, and its symbiotic relationship with service catalogue management, on which the course subsequently expands. After covering the different types of service catalogue and suggesting when they might be used, the course then explains the role of service level management and considers the importance of service level agreements, either service-based, customer-based, or multi-level.

Delegates will also gain an understanding of demand management, including how to create and analyse user profiles and patterns of business activity, and prepare for situations in which demand exceeds capacity. The course also looks at the roles of supplier management and business relationship management, examining the role of service agreements and relationships with both suppliers and consumers. In addition, delegates will learn about financial management within the lifecycle of a service, learning how to create business cases, assess ROIs, and model various funding alternatives. The course will close with an explanation of the key roles and responsibilities involved in Service Offerings and Agreements, as well as the technological considerations that SOA covers.

By providing a comprehensive guide to the processes of Service Design and Service Strategy, ITIL® Service Offerings and Agreements will be particularly beneficial to anybody involved in activities during these stages.

This 5-day ITIL® Planning, Protection, and Optimisation course provides a comprehensive overview of this area of the Service Lifecycle and prepares you to take the Planning, Protection, and Optimisation exam, leading to the ITIL® PPO certification. The exam is included.

Delegates can expect to learn about designing services, including what to prioritise and how to identify service and business requirements and translate these into features; capacity management, which includes monitoring and tuning business activities, producing forecasts and capacity plans, and responding to incidents; and availability management, which covers implementing and improving an IT service, creating availability plans, conducting regular service tests, and analysing/evaluating failures to create useful feedback for future iterations of this process. The course then proceeds to cover IT service continuity management, teaching delegates how to use business impact analyses and risk analyses amongst other tools, as well as explaining why these are useful in the ITIL® Service Lifecycle.

Delegates will also learn about the importance of information security management, including how to create, implement, document, and evaluate IT security controls as well as how to manage security in relation to suppliers and external parties.
