  • ITIL 3/2011 Capstone Managing Across the Lifecycle (MALC)
The purpose of the Managing Across the Lifecycle (MALC) course is to help ITIL Expert candidates learn about how to create integrated ITSM strategies, plans, and practices. Although most of the Intermediate classes focus on a particular lifecycle area, an overarching enterprise ITSM program has to coordinate and consolidate activities across the lifecycle, including a holistic approach to risk, metrics and reporting, process interfaces, service delivery, knowledge transfer, role definition and alignment, tooling, and capability requirements. MALC will teach you to “put it all together” into a coherent way to “do” ITSM.
