ITIL 4 High-velocity IT addresses the specifics of digital transformation and helps organizations to evolve towards a convergence of business and technology, or to establish a new digital organization.

HVIT, as defined in the ITIL publication, is
the application of digital technology for significant business enablement, where time to market, time to customer, time to change, and speed in general is crucial.

HVIT defines the best practices around establishing the digital organization and describes the key concepts of high-velocity, the culture that is necessary, and techniques that can be applied.
HVIT is a perfect example of how ITIL 4 modernized the Service Management best practices. It incorporates best practices such as Agile, DevOps, CI/CD, Kanban, AIOps, SRE, and much more. It’s a framework that truly addresses different operating models for different organizations, and leverages many other proven best practices and aligns them in one single, yet flexible, framework.
