ITPEC FE Subject A April 2024 — Question 43 of 60

The ITIL 2011 service lifecycle has five stages in a fixed sequence:

Service Strategy → Service Design → Service Transition → Service Operation → Continual Service Improvement

  • Strategy — define what services to offer and why
  • Design — plan how the service will work
  • Transitiondeploy the service into production
  • Operationrun the service day-to-day
  • CSIimprove continuously based on feedback

Mnemonic: S-D-T-O-I — "Strategy Designs Transitions, Operations Improve."

Why not others:
- (a) — starts with Design and places CSI second — completely wrong order

- (b) — starts with Design instead of Strategy

- (c) — puts Operation before Transition (you can't operate what hasn't been deployed yet)

Key rule: ITIL lifecycle always starts with Strategy and ends with CSI; Transition comes before Operation.
