What this domain covers

What to know about ITIL Management Practices

Be able to read a scenario and name the practice whose purpose fits it, then state that practice's key activities. The single most important thing: separate incident management (restore service) from problem management (root cause) and from change enablement (authorize change).

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

Watch out for

Common ITIL Management Practices exam traps

  • ▸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.
