  1. Change Management.
  2. Evaluation.
  3. Knowledge Management.
  4. Release & Deployment Management.
  5. Risk Management.
  6. Security Patch Management.
  7. Service Asset & Config. Management.
  8. Service Validation & Testing.

The purpose of service transition is to ensure a smooth transition of IT services from design to operations.
