Summary Ratings

ISO/IEC 20000 is first published in 2005 and has been undergoing periodic revisions. The industry adoption is not as high as ITIL as the standard is intended by used as an audit tool. Many organisation may not require a formal audit need. As the standard is framework agnostic, there are no specific tools built around ISO/IEC 20000. 

There are formal training and certification for individuals available to become a certified auditor.
