ITIL Checklists & Document Templates

Many Data Object shapes in the process diagrams are linked to additional "Checklists" which provide more details on these objects - and can often be used as templates. All in all, there are 88 ITIL checklists and document templates in Microsoft Word™ format, explaining all important ITIL process outputs in more detail.

Visio ITIL Checklists

A checklist "Request for Change (RFC)" is provided as part of the Change Management process, to explain the structure of the data typically contained in an RFC. You can use this checklist as a template when you start creating RFCs in your own organization.
