I was told “It’s taking over from PRINCE2″ This is totally misleading. So i thought id do this post to clear things up

 
Information Technology Library (ITIL)  is about the Management of IT services , Incident management, Error Control, Configuration management , Change Management, and post implementations review ),  it is a framework that defines a standard practise for providing IT services support and delivery.

PRINCE 2 is a Project management methodology. it is a standard method for managing a project from project initiation, scope management, time management, quality, procurement, communication, risk  management to the closing of the project,  It has standard procedures,  specific forms, to accomplish the project activities.

So basically ITIL and PRINCE 2 are not the same thing but i would advise everyone who wants to further their career in the IT sector to get them both under their belt.
