Question 2

Which statement BEST distinguishes a service request from an incident?

Accepted Answer

Service requests are pre-defined and pre-approved, while incidents are unplanned service disruptions. Service requests are pre-defined and pre-approved requests from users (e.g., password reset, access grant), while incidents are unplanned service disruptions that affect normal operation. Option A is incorrect because incidents can be non-technical (e.g., request for information is a service request, not an incident). Option B is incorrect because not all service requests require a change (e.g., information request), and incidents may require a change to resolve. Option C is incorrect because both incidents and service requests are logged in the IT service management system.

Answer

Incidents are only technical issues, while service requests are for information

Answer

Service requests always require a change, while incidents never do

Answer

Service requests are not logged, while incidents are always logged

Question 6

What is the purpose of a Service Level Agreement (SLA)?

Accepted Answer

To document agreed service targets between the service provider and the customer. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a documented agreement between a service provider and a customer that defines the level of service expected, including agreed service targets. Option A is incorrect because listing all services is more typical of a service catalog. Option B is incorrect because it describes an Operational Level Agreement (OLA), which defines internal support targets between IT teams. Option D is incorrect because it describes an Underpinning Contract (UC), which defines terms and conditions with external suppliers.

Question 7

A change request to replace a server is categorized as a 'standard change'. What does this mean?

Accepted Answer

The change is low-risk and follows a predefined, approved procedure. A standard change in ITIL is a pre-approved, low-risk change that follows a predefined procedure. Therefore, option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because even standard changes require documentation; they are pre-approved but still require recording. Option B is incorrect because standard changes do not require CAB authorization; they are pre-authorized. Option C describes an emergency change, which is implemented urgently due to incidents.

Answer

The change does not require any documentation or assessment

Answer

The change requires authorization from the Change Advisory Board (CAB)

Answer

The change must be implemented as soon as possible due to a critical incident

Question 8
