ITIL as part of Configuration Management career path/profile

hi, i hope you can give me some good advice. i am on my first job now and i've been with this company for less than 3 years but since last year i joined the Configuration Mgmt team. I'm enjoying the work, learning lots of stuff, processes and trying to implement them. In short, i see myself as going down this road and having this kind of career. My question is, given my situation that i've only been in CM for about a year, do you think it's too early for me to learn ITIL? Should i take the training now or wait a little later? Any recommendations? Thanks.

Its never too late to take ITIL Certification. However longer you work in ITIL Environment its get bit difficult to take exam becuase it hard to difference your experience from ITIL Stuff...

hi,please go ahead and give the exam. It has been just 1 year for me that i have worked as a configuration manager and I have passed my ITIL V3 basic Certification already. it is a must for everyone working in support.all the best :)

Sir, I am having 17 months experience and working on BSM Portal that's Business service management and now a days preparing for ITIL Foundation,kindly tell me the best career path in ITIL.I am confused and unable to choose the right path.

How is Configuration Management related to ITIL ?
Am working as Configuration Manager for past 6 yrs. How do I move to ITIL ?
Right now in my office, there is nothing as ITIL. How do I initiate ITIL in my office ?
