The team manager is attempting to leverage the pre-existing processes and procedures before creating new ones from scratch. He is not attempting to optimize the current service, but simply desires to understand it so they can identify any issues that should be avoided and any good components of the service that may be reused in the new service.

  3. Optimize and automate
  4. Focus on Value

  1. Automation
  2. Optimization
  3. Value

  1. Standard
  2. Normal
  3. Emergency
  4. Routine
A

2 - Normal

Normal changes are changes which need to be scheduled, assessed, and authorized following a standard process. These changes are not considered routine (like a standard change). They are also not considered urgent and don’t need to be implemented as soon as possible to recover from an incident (like an emergency change). In this example, the system is currently working perfectly fine, but you want to add a new function/feature to improve it. This should go through the normal change process. (Note: Routine is not a type of change in ITIL 4.)

36

4 - Change Authority

The change authority is a person or group responsible for authorizing a change. For a standard change, the change might be pre-authorized for all future changes of the same type. For an emergency change, this might be the IT director. Regardless of their named position, when they are authorizing a change based on the organization’s defined level of authority, they are the change authority.

38

  1. Problem

  3. Incident
  4. Resolution
A

3 - Incident

An incident is an unplanned interruption to a service or reduction in the quality of a service.

39
Q

Your company has decided to install a service management tool that provides incident management as one of its functions. What is the benefit of using an incident management system?

  2. It can ensure that incidents are resolved within the agreed upon timeframe in the service level agreement (SLA)
  3. It can provide automated matching of incidents to problems or known errors.
  4. The system can provide specialized knowledge for solving complicated incidents.
A

3 - It can provide automated matching of incidents to problems or known errors.

Modern IT service management tools can provide automated matching of incidents to other incidents, problems, or known errors. While the tools may help with resolving incidents faster, they cannot automatically ensure that incidents are resolved within the agreed timeframes from the SLA.

40
Q

What is usually included as part of ‘incident management’?

  1. Scripts for collecting initial information about incidents
  2. Detailed procedures for the diagnosis of incidents.

41
Q

You are working as a service desk analyst. Within the last hour, you have received 13 calls about users being unable to log on to the network. There appears to be something wrong with the domain controller. What would you classify this scenario as?

  1. Incident
  2. Workaround
  3. Problem
  4. Event
A

3 - Problem

A problem is a cause, or potential cause, of one or more incidents. Since you have received 13 calls (13 potential incidents), and the common issue appears to be the domain controller, the domain controller might be the problem.

42
Q

The users on the fourth floor of your building keep calling the service desk to report that their network connectivity is not working properly. The service desk logs each of these incidents, but since there are multiple incidents for the same issue, they forward it to the problem management activity for resolution. During your analysis, you determine that the network switch that services the entire fourth floor is broken and will need to be replaced. You checked the current inventory of spares, but there are none available. It appears this problem will remain for 24 hours until a new switch can be received and installed. How would you categorize the issue described in this scenario?

  1. Known error
  2. Workaround
  3. Problem
  4. Incident
A

1 - Known error

A known error is a problem that has been analyzed but has not been resolved. Since the issue is known (the network switch is broken and must be replaced), but not resolved (awaiting a new switch to arrive and be configured), this is a known error.

43
Q

How does ‘service request management’ contribute to the ‘deliver and support’ value chain activity?

  1. It ensures that users continue to be productive when they need assistance from the srvice provider
  2. It collects user-specific requirements, sets expectations, and provides status updates.
  3. By initiating standard changes to fulfill service requests
  4. It acquires pre-approved service components to help fulfill service requests.
A

1 - It ensures that users continue to be productive when they need assistance from the srvice provider

This is the ‘deliver and support’ activity. Deliver and support ensures users continue to be productive when they need assistance from the service provider.

44
Q

What is an example of an action a service request management employee would undertake as part of the ‘obtain/build’ activity?

  1. Analyzing data to identify opportunities to provide new service request options.
  2. Ensuring users continue to be productive when they need assistance from the service provider.
  3. Acquiring pre-approved service components to help fulfill service requests
  4. Initiating standard changes to fulfill service requests.
A

3 - Acquiring pre-approved service components to help fulfill service requests

This is ‘obtain/build’ activity. “Obtain/build: The fulfillment of service requests may require acquisition of pre-approved service components.”

45
Q

What is true about the service desk?

  1. Service desks should always be a physical team in a single fixed location
  2. Service desks should be designed based on your organization, its business process, and the user requirements.
  3. Service desks should always use a virtual service desk to save money.
  4. Service desks should always be local to the organization they support.
A

2 - Service desks should be designed based on your organization, its business process, and the user requirements.

There is no ‘one’ perfect way to design a service desk. The service desk may utilize a local, centralized, or virtualized model. It just depends on your organization, business needs, and user requirements.

46
Q

What activity is the main channel for communication and collaboration with users?

  1. Service Level Management
  2. Service Desk
  3. Incident Management
  4. Service Request Management
A

2 - Service Desk

The service desk is the main channel for tactical and operational engagement with users. The service desk is the entry point and single point of contact for the service provider with all of its users.

47
Q

You are in a quarterly service level management review with your supervisor. The manager asks your supervisor if the service desk has been meeting their SLA target metrics. Your supervisor proudly proclaims that everything is ‘green’ (meaning, we are meeting all of the targets). Just then, another executive asks, “If everything is showing as ‘green’, why am I hearing other users complain that the service is always unavailable for use?” What might be the reason for this?

  1. Your supervisors data is based on operational metrics
  2. Your supervisors data is based on business metrics
  3. Your supervisors data is based on availability metrics
  4. Your supervisors data is not based on business outcomes.
A

4 - Your supervisors data is not based on business outcomes.

Often, service level management reviews show as a ‘watermelon’, all green on the outside and red on the inside. This means that teams are often measuring the wrong things. For example, if you are measuring the uptime of a single server, this isn’t important to the end user or business objective or outcome. Instead, there should be a balanced ‘bundle’ of metrics to properly account for the business objectives as defined by outcomes and not simply operational metrics.

48
Q

How does ‘service level management’ contribute to the ‘improve’ value chain activity?

  1. Uses feedback from users about service and requirements from customers to make the service better
  2. Provides feedback from interactions with customers into new or changed services
  3. Provides information about the actual service performance and trends
  4. Collects feedback during interactions and communicates service performance objectives to the operations and support teams.
A

1 - Uses feedback from users about service and requirements from customers to make the service better

The ‘improve’ activity in the service level management practice uses feedback from users about the service and requirements from customers to make recommendations to improve the service.

49
Q
