ITIL® Managing Across the Lifecycle

The intent of the Managing across the Lifecycle (MALC) qualification is to give candidates the skills to  support an organization’s service delivery by bridging the service lifecycle stages.

The qualification demonstrates that candidates have learned the value of one combined service management practice as opposed to separate subject areas. ITIL processes and practices, as learnt from the lifecycle and capability streams of the intermediate certificates, are put into a context of delivering this value.

• Learning unit MALC01: Key concepts of the service lifecycle 
• Learning unit MALC02: Communication and stakeholder management 
• Learning unit MALC03: Integrating service management processes across the service lifecycle 
• Learning unit MALC04: Managing services across the service lifecycle
