Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 20 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil Option C: IT asset information relates more to asset management. Option D: The service catalogue helps define available services but is not a primary output of request fulfillment. Question #:29 A service provider wants to improve its proactive problem identification capabilities. To support this objective, it is reviewing the software tools currently used for problem management. Which automation capabilities will be particularly important for proactive problem identification? A. Integration with incident management records B. Practice measurement and reporting C. Separation of problem control and error control D. Integration with knowledge bases Answer: A Explanation For proactive problem identification, the ability to correlate and analyze data fromincident management recordsis crucial. By integrating problem management tools with incident management, the organization can detect patterns of recurring incidents, helping identify potential problems before they escalate. Automation capabilities that link these two practices will allow the service provider to enhance its proactive problem management capabilities, focusing on long-term solutions to reduce incident occurrence. Question #:30 In which step of the 'incident handling and resolution' process will a change be initiated? A. Incident closure B. Incident registration C. Incident resolution D. Incident diagnosis Answer: C Explanation During theincident resolutionstep of the incident handling process, it may become clear that a change is needed to resolve the underlying issue permanently. This is where the connection betweenIncident ManagementandChange Enablementoccurs. For instance, if the resolution of the incident requires a Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 21 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil modification to the system, a change request is initiated to implement this solution, ensuring the problem does not recur. Question #:31 Why is the monitoring provided by default for a configuration item not always right for a specific organization? A. Because it does not ensure that the component is operating optimally B. Because it does not assist operations staff in managing the object C. Because it does not ensure that value is being created for the organization D. Because many components do not come with default monitoring capability Answer: C Explanation Default monitoring settings provided for a configuration item may not align with an organization’s specific needs or goals.Monitoring must be tailoredto ensure it adds value to the organization by focusing on critical metrics that align with the organization's objectives. Default settings may not cover all essential aspects required to ensure the configuration item contributes to the desired business outcomes. Question #:32 Which activity is part of the ‘service request review and optimization’ process? A. Selecting the appropriate service request model B. Registering suggested Improvements to service request models C. Enacting the procedures to fulfill the request D. Deciding on whether to fulfil exceptions lo standard service requests Answer: B Explanation In theservice request review and optimizationprocess, one of the key activities isregistering suggested improvementsto the service request models. This ensures that the service request process evolves and improves over time based on user feedback and operational efficiency analysis. Selecting the appropriate service request modelhappens during request categorization, not review and optimization. Enacting procedures to fulfill the requestis part of the execution phase, not the review process. Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 22 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil Deciding on exceptionsis not a typical activity within the optimization process, which is more focused on enhancing and refining the standard models. Question #:33 Which of the following is an input to the 'communicating to users' process? A. Guidelines and procedures for triage B. Communication reports C. Previous incident, problem and change records D. Technology opportunities Answer: C Explanation When communicating with users, it is important to use historical data such asprevious incident, problem, and change records. This information helps provide context and ensures that communication is accurate and informed by past events. These records can guide responses to current incidents or service requests and help set expectations for resolution based on historical trends. Previous Incident, Problem, and Change Records: These provide valuable information that can be used to communicate effectively with users about ongoing issues, expected resolution times, and any steps that have been taken to resolve similar issues in the past. Option C ("Previous incident, problem, and change records")is the correct answer because these records serve as a key input for informed user communication. Incorrect Options: Option A: Triage guidelines are for internal processes, not directly related to user communication. Option B: Communication reports reflect previous communication activities, not input to the communication process. Option D: Technology opportunities are not relevant to incident communication. Question #:34 Fulfilment of service requests can be constrained by third parties. Where can users and customers find Information about these constraints? A. Service level agreements B. Service request catalogue Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 23 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil C. Service request model D. CMDB Answer: A Explanation Information about constraints on service request fulfillment, including those imposed by third parties, is typically found inService Level Agreements (SLAs). SLAs define the agreed-upon levels of service, including response times, resolution times, and any constraints or dependencies that may affect service fulfillment. Service Level Agreements (Answer A - Correct):SLAs document the terms of service between the service provider and the customer, including the limitations and constraints imposed by third parties. This ensures that both the provider and the customer are aware of potential delays or issues that could arise due to third-party involvement. Service Request Catalogue (Answer B - Incorrect):The service request catalogue lists the available services and requests but does not typically detail constraints related to third parties. Service Request Model (Answer C - Incorrect):Service request models outline the steps to fulfill specific service requests but do not usually contain detailed information about third-party constraints. CMDB (Answer D - Incorrect):The Configuration Management Database (CMDB) contains information about configuration items (CIs) and their relationships, but it is not the primary source for details on third-party constraints affecting service request fulfillment. ITIL 4 References: Service Level Management Practice:SLAs include details about service constraints and obligations, ensuring transparency between service providers and customers regarding service fulfillment expectations. Question #:35 Which of the following automation tolls will help to integrate service desk with other practice in the service provider’s value streams? A. Survey tools B. Workflow management tools C. Reporting tools D. Work prioritization tools Answer: B Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 24 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil Explanation Workflow management tools help integrate the service desk with other practices in the service provider's value streams by automating and managing the flow of tasks and information across different ITIL practices. These tools ensure that incidents, service requests, and changes flow seamlessly between the service desk and other functions such as incident management, problem management, and change enablement. Workflow management toolsensure that tasks are assigned, monitored, and completed efficiently, promoting integration between service desk operations and other processes within the organization's service value system. Survey toolsandreporting toolsare used for gathering feedback and generating insights, but they don't actively manage or integrate workflows between practices. Work prioritization toolsassist in task prioritization but don’t facilitate integration between different practices in the value stream. Question #:36 What should a service provider do when human resources to establish problem modes are not available? A. Consider using a third-party consulting service to help develop problem models B. Postphone problem management activities until the resources are available C. Delegate creation or problem models to a problem coordinator D. Create a single problem model to be used for managing all problems Answer: A Explanation When a service provider lacks human resources to establish problem models, it is advisable touse a third- party consulting serviceto help develop these models. ITIL encourages organizations to leverage external expertise when internal resources are insufficient, ensuring that problem management practices remain effective. Postponing problem management(Option B) is not recommended as it delays resolution. Delegating to a problem coordinator(Option C) might help, but if there are insufficient resources, external help is a better option. Creating a single model(Option D) is not effective, as problems vary and need tailored approaches. Question #:37 Which third party contribution to problem management should NOT be documented in a problem model? Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 25 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil A. How the third party helps to investigate specific types of problem B. How the third party documents workarounds for problems C. How the third party helps to develop the problem management practice D. How the third party identifies and logs problems Answer: C Explanation Aproblem modeldocuments the steps needed to manage a specific type of problem, including how third parties contribute to resolving it. While third parties may assist in identifying and investigating problems or providing workarounds,contributing to the development of the problem management practiceis not typically included in a problem model. Problem models are focused on the operational aspects of managing recurring issues, rather than the broader development of practices. Third-Party Contributions: Problem models are designed to document how third parties assist in resolving specific types of problems (e.g., helping with investigations, logging problems, or providing workarounds). These models focus on practical, actionable contributions directly related to problem resolution. Option C ("How the third party helps to develop the problem management practice")is the correct answer because problem models do not typically include strategic contributions to the overall practice; they focus on operational activities. Incorrect Options: Option A: Involvement in investigating problems is relevant to problem models. Option B: Documenting workarounds is essential for problem management. Option D: Logging problems is part of operational problem management. Question #:38 The service management team is analysis different practices, products, and service to map relevant value streams for further improvements. They are currently looking at the incident management value stream. Which of the following statement is CORRECT? A. Incident management should be involved in all value streams. B. Only the incident management value stream can trigger restoration of normal service C. Incident management can be involved in other value streams D. Incident management should be included in the required fulfillment workflow Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 26 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil Answer: C Explanation ITIL 4 definesIncident Managementas a key practice that works across various parts of theService Value Chain. WhileIncident Managementhas its own value stream focused on restoring normal serviceoperations as quickly as possible, it can also be involved in other value streams to handle incidents that may arise during activities likeService Fulfillment,Service Request Management, or even during the delivery of new services. Incident Management in Multiple Value Streams (Answer C - Correct):Incident Management can be involved in other value streams where its role is to manage disruptions that may occur during different stages of service delivery or other operations. For example, duringChange Management, incidents may occur as a result of changes made to the infrastructure, and Incident Management would need to step in to manage those disruptions. Incident Management in All Value Streams (Answer A):While incident management is crucial, it is not necessarily involved inallvalue streams. Value streams that do not involve service disruptions or incidents, such as strategic planning or purely administrative value streams, may not require the involvement of incident management. Restoration of Normal Service (Answer B):While Incident Management focuses on restoring normal service as soon as possible, other value streams likeChange EnablementandService Request Managementcan also trigger service restoration activities under different circumstances. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that only the Incident Management value stream can trigger restoration. Incident Management in Fulfillment Workflow (Answer D):WhileService Request Fulfillment often deals with requests such as password resets or access requests, which are not necessarily incidents, there may be occasions where Incident Management overlaps with the fulfillment process (e. g., if a service request leads to an incident). However, it is not mandatory that Incident Management be involved in every fulfillment workflow. ITIL 4 References: Service Value Chain:Incident Management activities are often part of various stages across the value chain, particularly inEngage,Deliver and Support, andImprovestages. Incident Management Practice:Incident Management ensures service disruptions are managed efficiently and effectively, making it a practice that can be invoked during various service value streams when required. Question #:39 What competency is the MOST important when performing the activity 'event logging'? A. Coordinator/communicator B. Leader C. Technical expert Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 27 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil D. Methods and techniques expert Answer: C Explanation Event logging is a critical function within the "Monitoring and Event Management" practice in ITIL 4. This practice focuses on systematically observing services and service components to capture significant changes of state, which are identified as events. The goal is to ensure services are being effectively monitored and that events are logged and appropriately managed. Technical expertiseis vital in understanding how various systems and components work, identifying key data points, and determining the significance of certain events. A technical expert can analyze the logs, determine the root cause of issues, and configure monitoring tools effectively. According to ITIL 4 guidance, the person responsible for event logging needs to have a deep understanding of the technical aspects of the infrastructure and applications being monitored. This allows them to configure and interpret event data efficiently to ensure the system's performance aligns with organizational goals. Why Not Other Options? Coordinator/communicator (A): While communication is essential for coordinating incident responses, the activity of "event logging" requires more technical knowledge than communication skills. Leader (B): Leadership is important for managing teams, but "event logging" is a more hands-on technical task. Methods and techniques expert (D): Although important, this role focuses more on understanding methodologies rather than having the in-depth technical knowledge necessary for event logging. Thus, theTechnical expert(C) is the most critical competency for performing event logging effectively, as this person must configure monitoring systems, identify key metrics, and interpret complex data to detect and react to system events accurately. Question #:40 A service provider has different product focused teams, plus a small problem management team. What activity is MOST LIKELY to be a responsibility of the problem management team? A. Identifying and logging problems B. Investigating problems C. Coordinating problem solving teams D. Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 28 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil D. Reviewing known errors Answer: C Explanation In organizations where multiple product-focused teams exist alongside a smallproblem managementteam, the problem management team's primary role is often tocoordinate problem-solving activitiesacross these teams. This ensures that the right people are involved in the investigation and resolution of problems, facilitating collaboration and driving solutions. Identifying and logging problems(Option A) is typically performed by product-focused teams or incident management. Investigating problems(Option B) may be a shared responsibility but is often handled by the product- focused teams. Reviewing known errors(Option D) is part of the error control process but not the main responsibility in a coordination-heavy role. Question #:41 Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the 'incident management' practice? A. Fulfilment of the SLAs with service consumers B. Reduced knowledge capture and reuse C. Higher client and employee satisfaction D. Reduced losses caused by IT service unavailability Answer: B Explanation TheIncident Managementpractice in ITIL 4 provides several benefits, including the fulfillment of SLAs, improving client and employee satisfaction, and reducing losses caused by service unavailability. However, reduced knowledge capture and reuseis not a benefit; in fact, knowledge capture and reuse are key goals of incident management to ensure that lessons learned from incidents are applied to prevent future issues. Proper documentation and sharing of knowledge ensure continuous improvement and efficiency in resolving incidents. Question #:42 What is used to minimize the negative impact of an event? A. An event correlation Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 29 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil B. A rule set C. A health model D. A monitoring action plan Answer: D Explanation A monitoring action plan outlines the specific steps to be taken when a particular event or set of events occurs. These plans are designed to: Minimize impact:By having predefined actions, the response to an event can be swift and targeted, reducing the potential negative consequences. Provide guidance:Action plans ensure that everyone involved knows what to do, avoiding confusion and delays. Enable proactive response:In some cases, action plans might include steps to be taken before an event fully materializes, potentially preventing it altogether. Let's consider the other options: A. An event correlation:This is the process of linking related events together to gain a better understanding of the situation, but it doesn't directly minimize the impact. B. A rule set:Rule sets define the criteria for triggering alerts or actions based on events, but they are not the actions themselves. C. A health model:This provides a baseline for normal system behavior, aiding in identifying anomalies, but it doesn't outline specific actions to take. Question #:43 An organization is going to introduce problem management and they are considering who to appoint as a new problem manager. Who is the BEST candidate for the problem manager role? A. A business relationship manager who previously worked as a risk manager B. A service desk manager who is an expert at configuring service management tools C.

Use dashboards and reports to communicate service performance to internal and external stakeholders C. Leverage automation tools to manage knowledge and to automate solutions, where possible D. Develop incident models and reuse known resolutions Answer: B Explanation To better demonstrate business value, the organization should focus oncommunicating service performance through dashboards and reports that provide insights into incident resolution, service levels, and overall performance. This ensures transparency and allows stakeholders to see how incident management contributes to the business. Dashboards and Reports to Communicate Service Performance (Answer B - Correct):Dashboards and reports provide real-time visibility into service performance, including key metrics like incident resolution times, service availability, and customer satisfaction. By presenting this data to both internal Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 31 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil and external stakeholders, the organization can better demonstrate the business value of its incident management practice. Swarming for Complex Incidents (Answer A - Incorrect):While swarming is effective for resolving complex incidents, it is not the best option for demonstrating ongoing business value. Automation for Knowledge Management (Answer C - Incorrect):Automating knowledge management is useful but does not directly contribute to demonstrating business value in a visible, quantifiable way. Develop Incident Models (Answer D - Incorrect):Reusing known resolutions improves efficiency, but it does not directly help in demonstrating business value to stakeholders. ITIL 4 References: Incident Management Practice:Using dashboards and reports ensures that stakeholders can clearly see the impact of incident management on business outcomes and service performance. Question #:45 How can partners and suppliers support the service desk practice? A. By mandating that all users utilize self-help portals B. By reducing the amount of automation used by the service desk C. By providing trained resources to work in service desk teams D. By reducing the need to customize the IT services Answer: C Explanation Partners and suppliers can play an important role in supporting theservice desk practicebyproviding trained resourcesto work alongside internal teams. This is particularly useful in situations where specialized knowledge or additional staffing is required to handle user requests efficiently. By integrating trained external resources into the service desk, organizations can enhance their capacity and expertise, leading to better service delivery. Providing Trained Resources: Suppliers can augment the capabilities of the service desk by contributing skilled personnel who are familiar with the tools, processes, and services being offered. Option C ("By providing trained resources to work in service desk teams")is the correct answer as it reflects how partners and suppliers can directly support service operations. Incorrect Options: Option A: Mandating self-help portals doesn't require supplier involvement.

Question #:48 What management practice is involved in providing users with descriptions of the service requests available to them? A. Problem management B. Incident management C. Change enablement D. Service catalogue management Answer: D Explanation Theservice catalogue managementpractice involves maintaining a structured list or catalogue of services available to users. This includes providing clear descriptions of the services, service requests, and the options available to users. Service catalogue managementensures that all service offerings and requests are clearly documented, communicated, and accessible to users. This helps users understand what services they can request and how to access them. Option D ("Service catalogue management")is the correct answer, as it directly involves providing users with descriptions of available service requests. Incorrect Options: Option A (Problem management): Deals with identifying and managing the underlying causes of incidents. Option B (Incident management): Focuses on restoring normal service operation as quickly as possible. Option C (Change enablement): Manages changes to services, not the description of service requests. Question #:49 An organization's service desk practice has a dedicated team of skilled agents that effectively interacts with other teams and practices. What capability level does this indicate? A. Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 34 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil A. Level 1 B. Level 2 C. Level 3 D. Level 4 Answer: C Explanation Capability levels in ITIL describe how well a practice is structured and integrated within an organization. For the service desk practice, the capabilities range from ad-hoc (Level 1) to highly optimized and continually improving (Level 4). Level 1 (Initial): The practice is informal, unstructured, and inconsistent. Level 2 (Basic): The practice starts to systematically achieve its purpose but may lack refinement. Level 3 (Defined and Organized): The practice is well-defined, with clear roles and responsibilities. There is effective collaboration with other teams, and the practice operates in a coordinated and organized manner, which aligns with the description provided in the question. Level 4 (Optimized and Continually Improving): The practice not only achieves its purpose but is continually optimized. Since the question mentions a"dedicated team of skilled agents"that"effectively interacts with other teams and practices,"this suggests a well-defined and organized level, which corresponds toLevel 3 (Defined and Organized).

A. Incident diagnosis B. Incident classification C. Incident resolution D. Incident detection Answer: B Explanation The first step in theIncident Managementprocess after detecting an incident is theIncident classification step. ITIL 4 definesIncident classificationas the step where the incident is categorized based on certain criteria, such as the type of failure, affected configuration items (CIs), services, urgency,and impact. This categorization helps direct the incident to the appropriate support team responsible for handling incidents involving the specific CI or service. Incident Detection (Answer D):This is the step where an incident is identified or reported, either by monitoring systems or through users. However, this step does not identify the responsible team; it only alerts the organization that an incident has occurred. Incident Classification (Answer B):After detection, the next step is classification, where the incident is categorized, and based on this categorization, the team responsible for the failed CI or service is identified. For instance, if the incident relates to a network outage, it is classified accordingly and assigned to the network management team. This is the first step where responsibility for resolving the incident starts to take shape. Incident Diagnosis (Answer A):Once the responsible team is identified, the incident diagnosis phase begins, where the team investigates the root cause of the incident. This phase cannot start until the incident is classified and assigned to the correct team. Incident Resolution (Answer C):This step involves the actual resolution of the incident but comes later in the process, after the classification, diagnosis, and other steps have been completed. ITIL 4 References: Incident Management Practice:The classification step is essential to ensure that incidents are properly categorized, and that they are assigned to the correct team based on the service or CI involved. Service Operation:ITIL emphasizes the importance of classification for efficient and effective incident handling to reduce the time to resolution. Question #:52 Which incident management capability criteria must be fulfilled to achieve capability level 5? Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 36 of 115 Practice Test ITIL - ITIL-4-Specialist-Monitor-Support-Fulfil A. The users and other relevant stakeholders know how to report incidents and report them as soon as possible B. Incidents ate usually detected immediately after they occur C. The effectiveness of incident detection is regularly reviewed and continually improved D. Incidents are usually resolved in the Quickest possible way Answer: C Explanation To achievecapability level 5in incident management, an organization must demonstrate a high level of maturity, where processes are well-established, optimized, and continuously improved. ITIL 4 emphasizes continual improvement as a critical aspect of advanced maturity levels. Capability Level 5 (Answer C - Correct):At this level, the focus is oncontinual improvement. The organization regularly reviews the effectiveness of incident detection and takes proactivesteps to improve the process. This aligns with ITIL’s emphasis on continual improvement through feedback loops and metrics, ensuring that the organization refines its incident management capabilities over time. Users Reporting Incidents Quickly (Answer A - Incorrect):While this is important for incident management, it is more relevant to lower maturity levels (e.g., ensuring basic incident reporting processes are in place). Atcapability level 5, the focus shifts to improving detection and processes rather than just relying on user reports. Immediate Detection (Answer B - Incorrect):Immediate detection is ideal but achieving it consistently requires optimized tools and processes. However, this criterion does not fully capture the continual improvement focus required at capability level 5. Quick Resolution (Answer D - Incorrect):Quick resolution is important, but it is more related to efficiencyrather than the continual improvement needed at capability level 5. ITIL 4 References: Continual Improvement Practice:Emphasizes reviewing and improving processes like incident detection and response over time. Incident Management Practice:Incident detection and its effectiveness should be regularly reviewed as part of continual improvement efforts.
