I am waiting for the official notice from someone high up saying that Agile/Scrum etc is officially dead. Long live Agile.
I have been to Scrum trainings and passed the certification but really there is nothing new there. I have always built software like that and there nothing innovative in there.

I'm still amazed how many people work in IT and have no concept of what the SDLC is.
Similarly, the amount of people that thinks you can apply agile to any IT project.
You can't.

In regard to OP I've been wondering the same about ITIL, I found a 3 day course in Brum for 450 notes (ITIL foundation)
Worth doing? Ie - is ITIL useful?
