More about ITIL® Assessment

ITIL Assessment

There are 3 types of evaluation, which have been defined by AXELOS.

  • Comprehensive evaluation - Evaluation of 7 or more processes as well as components of the ITIL Service Value System

  • Eligibility assessment - Evaluation of selected procedures, not including the components of the SVS

  • Maturity assessment - Evaluation of SVS components and up to 6 procedures

Capability & Maturity Levels

The purpose of continuous improvement is to ensure that services and products are constantly aligned - and remain aligned - with the business. The SVS Capability and Maturity Assessment will provide you with the information needed to establish a baseline for your continuous improvement needs, as well as to measure after improvement plans have been implemented. The assessment is therefore an integral part of any continuous improvement program.

Capability levels

  • Level 0 - The practice lacks any basic capability and is not achieving its purpose.

  • Level 1 - The practice is not well organised and is carried out as initial/intuitive. May occasionally or partially achieve its purpose through an incomplete set of activities.

  • Level 2 - Practice systematically achieves its purpose through a basic set of activities supported by specialised resources.

  • Level 3 - The practice is well defined and achieves its purpose in an organised way using dedicated resources and relying on input from other practices that are integrated into the service management system.

  • Level 4 - The practice achieves its purpose in a highly organised manner and its performance is continually measured and evaluated in the context of the service management system.

  • Level 5 - The practice continuously improves the organisational capabilities associated with its purpose.

SVS Maturity levels

  • Level 1 - Initial: Work is complete, but the purpose and objectives of the JCS are not always achieved in scope

  • Level 2 - Managed: Planning and performance measurement is ongoing and the purpose and objectives of the JRC at scale are repeatedly achieved, although not in a standardised way

  • Level 3 - Defined: Organisation-wide standards provide guidance across the JMS

  • Level 4 - Quantitative: SVS is data-driven with quantitative performance improvement

  • Level 5 - Optimizing: SVS is optimized and focused on continuous improvement
