ITIL wants YOU!

When launching ITIL V3 back in June 2007, the OGC announced the establishment of a cyclical program to update its core guidance books, to take into account the latest developments in Service Management best practices.

Now, the OGC and the Stationery Office are recruiting participants to update the five core publications (the Service Lifecycle books) and the “Introduction to the ITIL Service Lifecycle” book. The participants will be two kinds: authors and reviewers.

Check out for the official announcement. It’s not quite clear what you get in return, aside from prestige of being credited in the books. Hey, it would be OK and more than enough for me. Maybe they could even handle out an all-inclusive invitation to the next ITSMF congress… it would be worth the effort (they could think of an exotic destination next time, Barcelona is not really appealing to me…).

What about you? Would you like to participate? Do you think a public announce is a good step on broadening ITIL scope and incorporating new trends (and, more important, new realities) to its core books? Please share your thoughts on the comments.
