ITIL® 4 Specialist: Create, Deliver & Support (CDS)

For IT-powered products and services to deliver real and sustainable value, they must be managed as part of a holistic and ongoing process. Having a firmly established lifecycle helps to optimize transparency and accountability while also making it easier for IT staff to extract key metrics and highlight areas for improvement.

The ‘ITIL Specialist: Create, Deliver & Support (CDS)’ module offers descriptions, concepts, and best practices for creating and managing seamlessly integrated IT operations. Students learn how to combine, assess, and improve value streams in order to optimize service quality. The ITIL 4 Service Value Chain, a key element of the Service Value System, also contains demonstrably effective and efficient practices for planning, creating, delivering, and supporting value-creating products and services. Like the rest of ITIL 4, the CDS module can also benefit virtually any organization, regardless of size, industry, location, or anything else.
