Why is the continuous product and service improvement important for a business? 

• Continuous product and service improvement is important for businesses because it helps them stay competitive, meet the evolving needs and preferences of their customers, identify and address issues or areas for improvement, increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, and differentiate themselves from their competitors. This can ultimately lead to increased revenue and profits for the business and create value for its customers and stakeholders.

• Obtain/Build: This activity involves obtaining or building the necessary resources to deliver the IT services.
• Deliver and Support: This activity involves delivering and supporting the IT services to customers.
• Monitor and Control: This activity involves monitoring and controlling the IT services to ensure they are being delivered as intended.
• Retire: This activity involves retiring the IT services when they are no longer needed or when a new service is being introduced to replace them.

What is GRC in ITIL?

It involves identifying and managing the risks and compliance requirements that are relevant to the organization's IT services, and implementing controls and processes to ensure that these risks are effectively managed.
