Course Description:
Houston, we have a problem, these grave words were spoken just fifty-five hours and fifty-five minutes into the
mission. Imagine that you are on board the Apollo 13 when one of your crew members reports hearing a loud bang.
You discover that your spacecraft is slowly dying. You have a serious problem, unless you and the ground support
staff can solve this problem together and time is running out, fast! Welcome to the ITIL Foundation with Apollo 13
Mission ITSM course.
In this unique 3-day course, you will learn and experience the basics of ITIL, along with the exciting experience of a
business simulation game that is based on the actual Apollo 13 mission. You will also come to fully understand the
relationships between processes, and experience the actual how to apply ITIL theory. This course prepares learners
to take the ITIL Foundation examination and helps learners to recognize the success factors in applying ITIL best
practices.
Business Simulation Makes a Difference:
Business simulation is a powerful vehicle to make learning stick and has proven to support organizational change
initiatives and best practice implementation programs. During a Business Simulation, we simulate (all too)
recognizable business processes and scenarios. The environment is challenging and realistic. You will have to design
your own processes while working together as a team. You will have to execute
and improve your processes and agreed-to-ways of working. Three rounds of
simulation will be given during this course. You will have the chance to reflect,
discuss and improve your ability to translate theory and knowledge into practical
application.

What Customers Are Saying About the Apollo 13 Business Simulation:
In Apollo, it wasnt about making money. We were confronted with the
same demands as we get from the Business i.e., lower cost of ownership, increase customer satisfaction, do more with
less, demonstrate business value from ITSM. In Apollo, we learned how to measure and demonstrate these using ITIL
processes.
Really good, fun and an original way of simulating reality.
A real eye opener: which processes are running in parallel, right now, and which ones are important, at that time.
We became aware of the interdependencies of processes.
We can see the cost of doing things wrong.
Time pressure is like real lifeits about planning and making choices.
We have become aware of the chaos and confusion in the processes, and of our own responsibilities.

Managing
Across the
Lifecycle
The Managing Across the Lifecycle course brings cohesion by linking
all the phases of the Service Lifecycle together and is the final building
block before participants become ITIL Experts. This course rationalizes
ITIL knowledge, brings additional knowledge, and builds skills that
are not covered in the Lifecycle or Capability courses. The MALC
certification completes the Intermediate stream by focusing on the
ancillary knowledge required to implement and manage the necessary
skills associated with the use of the Lifecycle practices.

Course Description:
The ITIL Managing Across the Lifecycle Certificate (MALC) is the final component that leads to the ITIL Expert in IT
Service Management qualification. This course is available as a 5-day Classroom training program, as well as a 2-day
Blended training course (available through the ITpreneurs Expert Program).
The Managing Across the Lifecycle course builds on the knowledge and experience that learners obtained in the
Intermediate courses. Learners are required to apply this knowledge, as well as the experience they have obtained
performing service management functions. There are five strategic assignments developed around the Royal Phraya
Hotel chain. This hotel is also featured in all other ITpreneurs ITIL courses. However, in the new course, the chain has
expanded their business to other countries around the globe. The scenarios build upon each other, which means
that, as in real life, if you make mistakes at the beginning, it will come back to you later. Each of the scenarios covers
multiple learning objectives from the MALC syllabus. Additionally, the entire syllabus is fully covered in the course.
Learners, who perform well in this advanced training program, will do well in the final MALC exam.
The Royal Phraya has just conducted an acquisition and learners have to assist management in the integration. When
doing so, they will be asked to analyze and apply ITIL concepts and apply these to the situation (Bloom Level 4); and
synthesize and evaluate information to create a meaningful result for the hotel (Bloom Level 5). Learners work in
small teams, or operate individually, and when working in teams their team roles rotate. Each team member must
lead at least one strategic assignment. During the course, the instructor plays the role of the technology manager of
the Royal Phraya Hotel chain.
ITpreneurs delivers a next generation learning experience with the MALC training program. This program will test
your readiness to become an ITIL Expert, and will guide you through the process to make sure that you understand
your growth areas, as well as the areas in which you excel.

The structure of the program and expectations (based on the 12-week classic delivery option):
The program starts with a pre-course conference call that takes place four weeks prior to the first (physical or
virtual) classroom session. The course instructor and all the participants attend this call.
Before attending classroom sessions, participants are required to complete the online self-study of the respective
modules. The self-study modules focus on the knowledge component of the Lifecycle courses (Bloom level 1, 2).
The instructor monitors progress of participants during this time, using the ITpreneurs online campus. The instructor
is also available for questions via email or telephone.
There are two 4-day classroom sessions, with one month between the two sessions. The classroom sessions are
focused on practical application, analyzing and synthesizing information (Bloom level 3,4,5). The first classroom
session covers SS, SD and part of CSI. The second session includes the second part of CSI, followed by ST and SO.
After the classroom sessions, participants complete the online self-study modules with a specific focus on exam
preparation. Once participants feel ready to take on the exam, they schedule and take the individual exams at a
time and date that is convenient to them, but at least before the next classroom session starts.
The Managing Across the Lifecycle section of the course is the last component of the course. This block includes
online self-study and classroom sessions. The classroom session lasts two days, and the online learning modules
include 15 hours of content.

Process Maturity Assessment
TIPA (Tudor IT Process Assessment) is the result of seven years dedicated
research by CRP Henri Tudor in Luxembourg. ITpreneurs acts as the official
partner for TIPA training and delivery, as well as managing the official TIPA
membership scheme. TIPA for ITIL offers a vendor-neutral and structured
framework for process assessment with the purpose of achieving
continuous improvement of ITSM processes. TIPA for ITIL provides an
organization with an objective and structured view of the current
maturity level of its ITSM practices.

Process
Improvement
TIPA
TIPA is an internationally-recognized framework that
uses the principles of the ISO/IEC 15504 standard for
IT process assessment within an organization. The
framework offers a turnkey solution to determine the
maturity levels of IT processes that are aligned with
IT best practices such as ITIL and enables process
improvements.
TIPA provides an organization with an objective, vendorneutral and structured view of the current maturity
level of its ITSM practices and helps the organization
to identify its strengths, weaknesses and improvement
areas, set the objectives for an improvement initiative,
and monitor the progress and demonstrate the merits of
improvement actions

TIPA
Membership
Professional Membership
Professional Membership is open to professionals who have successfully completed the TIPA Assessor or TIPA Lead
Assessor certification exam. These individuals have demonstrated that they have developed the competencies and
skills necessary to use TIPA professionally, and want to continue to be engaged with the TIPA framework.
Any individual who becomes officially certified as an Assessor becomes automatically eligible for TIPA Professional
Membership. Upon successful certification, the individual will be invited to register as a TIPA Professional Member,
allowing them to license the TIPA toolbox and receive services such as recognition on the website and updates to the
latest updates of the toolbox and the framework.
Professional Membership Fee:
The professional membership fee covers the cost of the provision of membership and certification services. To
maintain the certification and ensure continued services, the membership has to be renewed annually.
Note: Professional members can perform TIPA assessments only within their own organizations. To offer TIPA
assessment services externally, the organizations have to license TIPA for commercial use, i.e., become an
Organizational Member.
Organizational Membership
Consulting Use License (formerly Organizational Membership)
The TIPA consulting use license is designed to recognize and support organizations that wish to use the TIPA
framework for commercial purposes. Examples of consulting use licensees are consulting firms, IT Service Providers
and software development firms.
Membership allows an organization to benefit from the widespread adoption of TIPA. Licensees are organizations that
plan to make available a commercial offering based on the TIPA framework or plan to use TIPA in the development of
a commercial offering. A commercial offering typically takes form as a service (assessment/consultation).
For an organization to be able to apply for a consulting use license and offer a commercial service/product,
which includes the TIPA framework, the organization must employ at least one TIPA Lead Assessor. Organizational
Membership belongs to the organization (as opposed to Professional Membership, which belongs to a certified
individual) and can be retained by the organization as reassignments occur.
Single Product Use License
The single product use license enables an organization to become the official product licensee of TIPA. This license
allows the licensee to develop a single product/software/tool aligned with TIPA for ITIL. This license allows the
software company to:
Deploy/integrate the developed tool in unlimited organizations for a period of one year
Access to inputs from the core TIPA team at agreed support rates during development/deployment phase
Right to use the TIPA trademark and logo for commercial purposes
License to use the TIPA in the software environment (including Process Assessment Model, Toolbox) and access to
TIPA material updates
Listing on the official TIPA website as a software licensee to develop TIPA compatible services/products for
commercial purposes

As seasoned IT professionals, the team members have struggled with the same reporting and measurement issues
that plague IT process owners, IT managers, and CIOs. The problems include:
Promises from Business Intelligence (BI) vendors that never transpire.
Commitments from internal reporting teams that inevitably focus on non-IT priorities.
Promises by enterprise IT vendors of dashboards and scorecards that show few results.
Resources spending 10-20% of their time on extracting data into spreadsheets, manipulating graphs and tables,
and then pasting them into slide shows.
Measuring best-practice IT Service Management (ITSM) methodologies, such as ITIL and COBIT.
Storage of historical data for trend analysis.
Measuring how youre performing against your peers.
The journey to successful IT performance measurement starts with understanding what to measure. Metricus
provides IT Performance Metrics Metadata, representing the detailed definition of over 600 tangible and pragmatic IT
performance metrics. Utilities are provided to allow the selection of metrics that really matter to your IT organization.

benefits/performance, or the right metrics for your IT Balanced Scorecard.
To address these challenges, we have developed an application framework in the cloud, combining bestpractice BI,
performance measurement, reporting and collaboration technologies with subject matter expertise, and extensive
experience in the delivery of IT measurement and reporting solutions. The net result is what the cloud is all aboutnot
just a product or technology but a cost-effective application specific to your IT measurement and reporting
requirements.

The CIO requires a scorecard that tracks actual vs. targets for metrics, such as IT service availability, customer
satisfaction, budget variance, and security/risk compliance.
The Help Desk requires a dashboard to provide a snap shot of current activity.
The Change Management Process Manager requires a daily report providing details of open changes.
An Incident Management Analyst wants to drill through, using analytic charts and decomposition trees, into the
incidents created last month to understand why first-level resolution decreased.
What types of incidents were not resolved? What groups were involved? Is training an issue?
The ability to provide your IT organization with targeted visualization based on the roles and responsibilities of endusers is what makes Metricus so much more than simply a generic BI or reporting tool.

data. Key features of PowerView include:
Rapid creation of management views of data. Views can easily be filtered, tiled, sliced and sorted. Views created
can be exported to PowerPoint where they remain interactive with Metricus.
Metricus data models are fed into PowerView and contain all the relationships between your data.
So, rather than worry about how to construct the view, you simply ask questions by manipulating the data available.
-- Why are my incidents increasing? What configuration items are causing the increases?
-- What impact does this have on SLA performance and resolution times?
-- Which work groups are experiencing problems because of the increase?
Using PowerView you can easily find the answers to these and many other questions yourself.
