ITIL® Practitioner: Release and Control - Course Description

This practitioner course focuses on the implementation and management of the processes and functions involved in achieving control and stability within an IT infrastructure. These include effective Change and Release Management processes, complemented by an effective Configuration Management process. It is aimed at optimising quality of service by responding to the need for changes in a controlled and time-effective manner, while also keeping information about the infrastructure up-to-date and relevant.
