# CSDM V3 Framework Mapping: IT4IT V3

- Title: CSDM V3 Framework Mapping: IT4IT V3
- Video URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pged5LYbVKs
- Playlist position: 65
- Frameworks discussed: CSDM, IT4IT, Digital Product
- Evidence basis: YouTube MCP playlist metadata, `yt-dlp` chapter metadata, and a local `faster-whisper` transcription recovered from the video audio after MCP transcript calls failed on 2026-03-26.

## Short summary
This is the most product-centric framework video in the recovered set. The speaker describes IT4IT v3 as moving from a service-model backbone toward a digital-product-centered model, with a digital value network, capability framing, portfolio management, fulfillment, and continuous-operations feedback loops all organized around the digital product.

## Key mapping concepts
- IT4IT v3 centers the digital product across value streams and capabilities
- Strategy, portfolio, explore, deploy/release, fulfill, and continuous-operations flows are all described as digital-product lifecycle traversal paths
- Service offerings are treated as part of how digital products are fulfilled to customers
- Portfolio and performance feedback loops connect operational evidence back to product decisions
- CSDM is positioned as the common structural model that can anchor these lifecycle interactions

## Notable terminology used
- IT4IT v3
- Digital value network
- Digital product
- Capability
- Strategy portfolio
- Fulfillment value stream
- Continuous operations
- Service offering
- Showback / chargeback

## What still seems valid
Very strong relevance remains here. The enduring idea is that a digital product is the cross-domain anchor that ties portfolio, design, release, fulfillment, and operations together. That is directly aligned with the downstream ontology agenda and also creates a clean path for treating AI coworkers or agents as governed digital products rather than as vague automation side effects.

## What appears outdated or version-specific
The transcript explicitly says this was a preliminary snapshot before IT4IT v3 was formally released, with a late-2021 target. That makes the exact naming and diagram details version-specific. It is best used as evidence for modeling direction and analysis patterns, not as a final normative statement for current IT4IT or CSDM 6.

## Transcript
Local transcript recovered on 2026-03-26 by downloading the audio and transcribing it after the YouTube MCP transcript path failed.

Cleaned transcript excerpt:
- `0:15-1:20`: IT4IT is introduced as an Open Group reference architecture for IT value streams and functional components, while CSDM is described as the common model for products, services, and integrations on the platform.
- `3:10-4:45`: The speaker says the key change in IT4IT v3 is that it is "really centered around digital product." The digital value network, supporting capabilities, and all value streams are organized around a portfolio of digital products managed through their lifecycles.
- `6:00-7:10`: The value streams are described in explicitly product-centric terms: explore new ideas, deploy or release versions, fulfill digital products through catalogs and service offers, and continuously operate and evaluate the product using operational and customer feedback.

Chapter landmarks recovered from the YouTube page:
- `0:45` What is IT4IT
- `3:06` IT4IT V3
- `7:53` Framework Mapping
- `10:17` Service Offerings
- `11:09` Digital Products

## Relevance to current ontology work
Very high relevance. This is the strongest transcript-backed source in the playlist for treating Digital Product as the central semantic anchor across portfolio, delivery, fulfillment, and operations. It is a primary historical input for current CSDM and IT4IT mapping work and for extending that model to governed AI product constructs.
