OGC announces timeline for withdrawal of ITIL V2

30.10.2009

After a careful analysis of market trends and concerns, the OGC has finalized a plan for the discontinuation of the ITIL V2 Qualification Scheme.

From the announcement:
OGC has considered these findings (itSMF International survey) alongside its own requirements for the maintenance of the ITIL product set, and agreed that:

1. Withdrawal will be product based, with all language variants for individual qualifications and publications being removed at the same time.
2. Removal of version2 will complete on 30 June 2011. Specific product withdrawal will be as follows:
   • V2 Foundation to cease 30 June 2010
   • V2 Manager to cease 31 August 2010
   • V2 Practitioner to cease 31 Dec 2010
   • Foundation Bridge to cease 31 Dec 2010

All of the above will be available for re-sits until 30 June 2011

• Manager Bridge to cease 30 June 2011
• Service Support and Service Delivery publications will be removed on 30 June 2011. Though in the later period these may only be available as ‘print on demand’ or in electronic formats.
• Continued availability of all other version2 publications will be considered on a case by case basis as they come up for reprint, with all being removed no later than 30 June 2011.
