The ITIL practices are those practices that the ITIL framework recognizes as practices. The ITIL definitions may differ from the others. According to the ITIL Foundation 4e by Axelos,
A practice is a set of organizational resources designed for performing work or accomplishing an objective.
In the ITIL universe, each practice supports multiple activities of the ITIL service value chain and includes resources based on the four dimensions of service management.
