Your laptop only has a 256GB of SSD storage installed. You have been traveling for work for the last 2 weeks and have downloaded a lot of video files to your internal storage device. Your computer is having issues because there is not enough free space. You called your service desk, but since you are out of the country, they cannot remotely back up all the files on your laptop. They recommend that you move the large files from your internal storage device (256GB SSD) to an external hard drive to free up some available space. Unfortunately, you don't have an external hard drive with you, so you will purchase one at the store later today. How would you classify this situation and the solution recommended?

Your organization was having a big problem with cybersecurity due to poor password management practices. You had led an improvement initiative to increase the security of the authentication system by implementing two-factor authentication. The original goal was to get at least 35% of the users to utilize two-factor authentication. During the first phase of your improvement initiative, using the two-factor authentication was voluntary for users. By the end of the first phase, it was determined that 43% of users chose to use the two-factor authentication. You want to continue the improvement efforts and increase usage to 100%. Which step in the continual improvement model should you begin with?

Dion Training Solutions has created an automated system that allows students to purchase their ITIL 4 Foundation exam vouchers at a discount through the Dion Training website. To accomplish this, the company sets up a 9-step automated series of activities that occurs once the student orders the voucher on the website. When this occurs, the automation selects a voucher for the student, emails them their unique voucher code and exam scheduling instructions, logs the purchase, remove the voucher from the inventory, and notifies the staff if the voucher inventory gets below a certain threshold. Which dimension of service management best represents this series of actions that is occurring through automation?

A company is planning to launch a new service and expects it will take them a full year to develop, test, and release the service. The project board for the project (the new service) has decided that instead of using a waterfall development method, they will use an Agile development method. This method will rely on two-week timeboxes, which means that every two weeks, the team must deliver some portion of the final service. As these smaller pieces of the new service are delivered, beta testers will be given access to the new features and functions to test and provide their initial thoughts on the new service. What guiding principle best describes this scenario?

He walks over to the printer, takes out the toner cartridge, shakes it back and forth a few times, and places it back into the printer. Suddenly, the printer begins to print again. Apparently, shaking the toner cartridge moved some of the remaining toner around and will allow a few more sheets to be printed while you are waiting for a new cartridge. What would you classify this as?

Your company currently uses a paper-based process for allocating funding for authorized business travel. This process requires the traveler to fill out a form and get 6 different signatures and approval prior to turning in the form to accounting for funding of the travel. This entire process is currently done manually, meaning, an employee is actually walking around to the various managers for their physical signature on a piece of paper. You have decided to automate this process. Based on the principle of 'optimize and automate', how should you approach the automation of this existing process?
