ITIL Practitioner Level ITIL-4-Practitioner-Deployment-Management Question # 6 Topic 1 Discussion

ITIL 4 emphasizes that value streams are designed to deliver specific outcomes by integrating relevant management practices tailored to the context of services or products. For a large organization, creating several value streams that incorporate practices like change enablement, deployment management, and continual improvement (Option D) is the most effective approach. This allows flexibility to address different services or workflows while ensuring practices are embedded where needed, aligning with ITIL 4’s value-driven and context-specific principles.

Option A (Create a separate value stream for each management practice):Incorrect, as this fragments processes and contradicts ITIL 4’s holistic approach, where practices work together within value streams to deliver outcomes, not in isolation.

Option B (Create one combined value stream for change enablement and deployment management):Incorrect, as limiting to a single value stream for only two practices may not account for other necessary practices or varying service needs, reducing flexibility.

Option C (Create a single value stream that includes change enablement, deployment management, and other practices such as continual improvement):Incorrect, as a single value stream for all practices may become overly complex and fail to address diverse service requirements in a large organization.

Option D (Create several value streams that include change enablement, deployment management, and other practices such as continual improvement):Correct, as it reflects ITIL 4’s guidance to design multiple value streams tailored to specific services or products, integrating relevant practices to optimize value delivery.
