Domain overview
This domain covers the ITIL 4 management practices: the 34 sets of organizational resources for performing work. For ITIL 4 Foundation, you must know the purpose and key activities of practices such as incident management, service desk, problem management, change enablement, service configuration management, and continual improvement, and match each to realistic scenarios.
Exam objectives
Matching a scenario to the correct practice, e.g. scripted fixes to service desk metrics
Purpose and key activities of incident, problem, change enablement, and service request management
Service configuration management: CMDB accuracy, configuration items, and relationship data
Continual improvement: the improvement register, model, and who owns improvement work
Confusing incident management (restore service fast) with problem management (find root cause) when a scenario mentions recurring issues.
Assuming the service desk owns all practices; change enablement authorizes changes, and service configuration management owns CMDB data accuracy.
Treating service request management as incident management; requests are pre-defined, low-risk, and often handled through a catalogue.
