Question 2

Which THREE statements correctly describe the difference between Deployment Management and Release Management in ITIL 4?

Accepted Answer

Release Management decides when to deploy a release. In ITIL 4, Deployment Management is a subset of Release Management.

Release Management is responsible for the actual deployment of components

Question 3

Which TWO of the following are key components of the ITIL 4 Service Value System (SVS)?

Question 5

What is the PRIMARY purpose of the Service Desk practice?

Accepted Answer

To provide a single point of contact for users. The primary purpose of the Service Desk practice is to provide a single point of contact (SPOC) for users to report incidents, submit service requests, and receive updates. This ensures that all user interactions are captured, tracked, and managed consistently, enabling efficient communication and resolution. Without a dedicated SPOC, users would face confusion about whom to contact, leading to delays and poor service experience.

To manage the lifecycle of IT assets

Answer

To manage known errors and workarounds

Answer

To monitor and manage IT events

Question 6

Which TWO of the following are activities of the Problem Management practice according to ITIL 4?

Accepted Answer

Performing root cause analysis. Performing root cause analysis (RCA) is a core activity of Problem Management, which aims to identify the underlying cause of incidents to prevent recurrence. ITIL 4 defines Problem Management as focusing on diagnosing the root cause of problems and initiating actions to eliminate or minimize future incidents.

Answer

Fulfilling service requests

Answer

Restoring service by applying a workaround

Answer

Question 7

An organization's board sets strategic objectives and assigns performance targets to IT management. This is an example of which aspect of governance as described in ITIL 4?

Directing. The board setting strategic objectives and assigning performance targets to IT management is a direct exercise of the 'Directing' aspect of governance. In ITIL 4, directing is the governance activity that provides leadership, sets direction, and delegates authority to ensure that the organization's strategy and policies are implemented. This contrasts with monitoring and evaluating, which are subsequent activities that check compliance and assess performance against the set direction.

Question 9

A recurring issue with a software application has caused multiple incidents. Which record should be raised to investigate the underlying cause?

Accepted Answer

Problem record. A problem record is specifically designed in ITIL 4 to manage the investigation and diagnosis of the underlying cause of one or more incidents.
