ITILiin

ITILiin is a hypothetical framework that extends ITIL methodologies to emphasize integrated governance, security, and data-centric service management. It positions itself as a modular, scalable approach compatible with ITIL 4, aiming to bridge traditional IT service management with agile, DevOps, and enterprise compliance requirements.

Its core principles include a service value system that links customer outcomes to IT capabilities, continuous improvement, and risk-based decision making. It emphasizes value co-creation with stakeholders, end-to-end service flows, and explicit alignment with business objectives, regulatory constraints, and information security.

ITILiin is described as comprising core lifecycle domains similar to ITIL 4—service strategy, design, transition, operation, and continual improvement—plus dedicated domains for information governance, data management, security management, asset and configuration management, and continuity planning. Practices are expected to be modular and releasable, enabling organizations to adopt the most relevant components.

Proponents envision certification tracks for practitioners and organizations, including foundational, practitioner, and advanced levels, with an emphasis on measurable outcomes and audit readiness. Adoption remains hypothetical in many sources, and ITILiin is discussed mainly in theoretical and vendor literature as a conceptual evolution rather than a formal standard.

ITILiin is not an official standard; rather, it is presented as a thought framework that builds upon ITIL concepts by integrating governance, security, and data-centric practices to support modern digital services.
