ITIL 2011 will be released soon
The publication date for the ITIL 2011 was announced, as far as I know there are no major changes and this is just an update, not a new version. The main points are:
• ITIL 2011 is an update, not a new version, to resolve any errors or inconsistencies in the text and diagrams, both in content and presentation.
• The publication date is 29 July 2011 for the hard copies. Electronic formats including eBook, downloadable PDF and Online Subscription will follow soon after.
• This update should not affect the tool vendors, any impact will be minor. (No changes for SCSM, I hope :))
• The updated publications will be easier to read and understand, having addressed errors and inconsistencies.
• Work has begun on updating all 23 translated glossaries and we hope to have these available around the same time as the English version.
• Candidates who hold existing ITIL certification will not need to become re-certified.
• The updated syllabuses and examinations will be available on 8 August 2011.
• Users will be able to distinguish between the current publications and the updated ones by the ‘2011 Edition’ flash on the front cover.
