Managing across Lifecycle

  • The intent of the ITIL® 2011 Managing across the Lifecycle (MALC) qualification is to give candidates skills that can be used in the workplace in a tangible way 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® 2011 processes and practices, as learnt from the lifecycle and capability streams of the intermediate certificates, are put into a context of delivering this value.
  • The learning outcomes are intended to evolve a candidate’s ITIL® content knowledge towards its applied use and integration in a workplace environment. Testing and validation of knowledge take place at Bloom’s taxonomy level 4 (analyzing) and level 5 (evaluating), reflecting the focus on integration compared with the ITIL® 2011 intermediate qualifications.
  • While MALC encompasses the broadest perspectives of service management skills, for example related to project management and application design, it is not intended to teach these practices, rather to refer to them as contexts for ITIL® application. A high-level understanding of these is still expected.

This qualification focuses on strategizing, planning, using and measuring ITIL® practices in an integrated functioning model:

  • How the service lifecycle stages form an integrated whole
  • Process integration and interfaces
  • Shared data / information / knowledge

Difference Between ITIL® 2011 Expert and Intermediate Modules

MALC is the final mandatory qualification leading to ITIL® 2011 Expert certification. It is at a higher level than the capability and lifecycle modules. However feedback indicated this has not been clearly and consistently recognized due to MALC in the past having the title of ‘intermediate’ qualification and having a similar structure to the capability and lifecycle examinations.

The review feedback indicated that it was important to differentiate MALC from the capability and lifecycle modules (the intermediate qualifications), and that this difference should be clearly visible.
For this reason the MALC qualification is no longer to be termed an ‘intermediate’ qualification. It will simply be called ‘ITIL® 2011 Managing across the Lifecycle’. The word ‘intermediate’ should not be used in association with MALC in future.

The difference between MALC and the intermediate qualifications should be clearly marketed and publicized. It should be emphasized that:

  • MALC has a higher level of difficulty
  • MALC is a higher level than Foundation and Intermediate
  • MALC focuses across the service lifecycle
  • MALC delivers a prestigious qualification in ITIL® 2011 Expert
