ITIL From Inception to Global Standard

How ITIL became what it is: from its origins as a set of UK government guidance on running IT services to the framework used across the world today, through the successive editions that reshaped it along the way.

The history is not trivia. Each edition changed the vocabulary and the emphasis, and a good deal of the confusion around ITIL comes from people using terms from different editions in the same conversation. Knowing which idea arrived when makes it much easier to read older documentation without being misled by it.
