ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) continues to gain ground as a standard for IT governance, despite the current recession, and there have been significant changes to the standard in its upgrade from V2 to V3. Although ITIL V3 was officially launched in June 2007, adoption of the new version has lagged, and many organizations are remaining with V2. Uptake has been slowed particularly as a result of the ongoing economic crisis.
