When I read your questions, I had to admit that I have no idea what "ITIL" stands for, so I looked it up. According the "The Free Dictionary" site:
Information Technology Infrastructure Library - (ITIL) A method of organising the system and network management departments of large organisations. ITIL defines the (work) processes involved and the interfaces between them. I suspect that few on this list will have any answers for your questions (I certainly don't) because the large US organizations that (some of us) work for are not organized by that standard. I wasn't even aware of the term, and I suspect I am not alone in that regard. Perhaps this is a European standard of organization? The spelling of "organising" and "organisations" with an "s" rather than a "z" suggests a UK origin. US spelling uses "z" in that word. Sorry not to be much help for you.
