  • Advanced analytics
  • 'Build vs buy' considerations

Card 35

Question

An organization wants to ensure that the introduction of new services is as smooth as possible. Some of the key activities it has identified are: educating support teams with lessons from development and testing; preparing self-service knowledge articles for users; and making development team members available in case there are any issues immediately after go-live.

Which practice is the MOST important for these activities?

Answer

  • Release management
  • Service design
  • Deployment management
  • Software development and management

Card 36

Question

An organization would like to apply the 'focus on value' guiding principle to the 'service level management' practice.

Which is the BEST way to do this?

Answer

  • Create awareness of expected service levels with the users, including the reasons behind them
  • Create concise SLAs which can be easily measured and reported
  • Understand how users interact with the service and how this contributes to achieving their goals
  • Use the current measurements as a baseline which SLAs can be developed from

Card 37

Question

An organization uses internal and external development teams that collaborate effectively to produce new and upgraded services. When the changes are released, users complain that the service desk staff are often not aware of the changes, and that any support issues relating to the changes take a long time to resolve.

What would prevent this situation from occurring in the future?

Answer

  • Introduce a self-service system for users so that they do not have to rely on the support teams
  • Outsource the organization's internal support provision to the external development organization
  • Allow users direct access to second-line support teams by bypassing the service desk
  • During the development phase, engage the support staff who are involved in the value stream for the service

  • Understanding the functional structures and work according to the organization’s capability to deliver to the new requirements
  • Understanding the impact of the new or changed service on the internal technical teams, to ensure they are able to deliver against the new requirements

Card 39

Question

An organization releases service upgrades in response to changing market demand. The market demand needs to be fulfilled quickly to capture market value. Some members of the product team believe that some tests can be skipped because of the need to release quickly. Other team members believe that everything should be tested carefully, therefore they have proposed increasing the number and scope of tests.

Which is the BEST approach to resolve this situation?

Answer

  • Increase the frequency and strength of testing, and delay releases if necessary for tests to be completed
  • Limit testing to the minimum required for compliance, and allocate resources for solving incidents that might follow releases
  • Review the release plans to ensure there is enough time for detailed testing, especially for complex systems
  • Review the testing strategy, considering the probability and impact of failures to define what should be tested

Card 40
