Card 2

Question

  3. Help get customers’ jobs done
  4. Trust and be trusted

Answer

  • 2 and 3
  • 1 and 2

Card 3

Question

An organization has several value streams for the creation of new services. The organization has found that users are not sufficiently informed about the changes which will affect them, and that user complaints about new services have not been escalated to the correct teams.

Which practice would MOST help to improve this situation?

Answer

  • Service design
  • Problem management
  • Risk management
  • Service desk

Card 4

Question

An organization wants to develop software quickly.

What is the BEST way to incorporate security requirements into the development efforts?

Answer

  • Assign an information security management expert to each development team so they can provide guidance to developers
  • Train all developers in information security management so they can take responsibility for the security of the products they develop
  • Maintain a separate information security management team that reviews and approves all production software
  • Add security controls to production software after it has been developed to speed up the development process

Card 5

Question

What do Lean and Agile consider a barrier to high performance?

Answer

  • Pulling versus pushing work
  • Limiting work-in-progress
  • Large batch sizes of work
  • Making work visible

Card 6

Question

Which statement about high-velocity IT is CORRECT?

Answer

  • It requires continuous deployment
  • It is always a worthwhile investment
  • It relates only to product warranty
  • It always considers time as a measure

Card 7

Question

Which BEST describes Toyota Kata?

Answer

  • An approach that helps to improve throughput by improving flow and reducing waste
  • An approach for identifying what is good for society
  • An approach to scientific experimentation that helps to form and sustain new habits
  • An approach to identifying how parties collaborate to co-create value

Card 8

Question

A service is meeting all the requirements for utility and warranty, but customer and user experience are not good.

Which practice will contribute MOST to understanding what experiences would be valued by users and customers?

Answer

  • Service catalogue management
  • Service desk
  • Business analysis
  • Software development and management

Card 9

Question

An organization is considering adoption of AIOps tools to improve reliability and resilience of its IT services.

What is the BEST way for the organization to achieve this through the use of AIOps?

Answer

  • By resolving incidents faster
  • By proactively monitoring service health
  • By detecting suspicious changes to services
  • By creating and updating knowledge articles

Card 10

Question

A centralized IT department is adopting site reliability engineering to increase the resilience and performance of IT systems.

What is this an example of?

Answer

  • IT transformation
  • High-velocity IT
  • Digital transformation
  • Digital technology

Card 11

Question

Due to the monolithic nature of their legacy information systems, an organization is unable to fully reap the benefits of more modern software engineering techniques such as agile and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD).

Which practice includes designing loosely-coupled service, technical, and information elements that would enable smaller, more frequent changes?

Answer

  • Deployment management
  • Architecture management
  • Software development and management
  • Business analysis

Card 12

Question

An organization is introducing a service for two business units, which have different requirements for service hours. The result of the different requirements is that the service should be available for 24 hours per day, and will need to be designed with high levels of redundancy. Neither customer sees it as their responsibility to invest in such a solution.

Which practice ensures that this situation is managed appropriately?

Answer

  • Service desk
  • Architecture management
  • Relationship management
  • Risk management

Card 13

Question

An organization wants to increase the percentage of visitors that perform certain actions when visiting its website, such as providing contact information and making purchases. Constant arguments regarding which features to change in support of this objective have led to wasted time and effort.

Which approach can the organization use to both achieve its objective and reduce the arguments associated with making changes?

Answer

  • Use A/B testing and base decisions on how visitors react to different versions of website features
  • Use design thinking and make changes that balance the needs and interests of all stakeholders
  • Calculate the cost of delay associated with each feature change and prioritize accordingly
  • Produce a minimum viable product and base changes on the feedback obtained from customers

Card 14

Question

A business analyst has recognized that business managers have conflicting hypotheses about their needs for departmental improvement. They also find it difficult to articulate their requirements.

Which approach is BEST for obtaining requirements?

Answer

  • Conduct an interview based on a carefully prepared script of detailed questions
  • Develop multiple prototypes of a possible solution, and adopt what works best
  • Ask the director to enforce what the business analyst considers to be the most plausible solution
  • Allocate a week to analyse how the department works, and then make logical conclusions

Card 15

Question

A team has been established to find ways to release software more frequently and reliably. The team is exploring the relationship between Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), and the organization’s ‘deployment management’ practice.

In the context of continuous delivery, which would be involved in the ‘deployment management’ practice?

Answer

  • Supporting an agreed frequency and level of automation of deployments to production environment
  • Running root-cause analyses and post-mortems following failed deployments
  • Automating the deployment of changes that have passed all tests in the production environment
  • Designing and improving the architecture needed to automate deployments

Card 16

Question

An organization wants to introduce chaos engineering. Various experiments will be conducted in the production environment to see how it responds.

Which is an example of an extra service continuity management measure to support this way of working?

Answer

  • Validating backup network connectivity and testing it for the anticipated workload
  • Logging information about bandwidth, throughput, response times, and other performance data during the periods of experimentation
  • Investigating the results of the experiments to identify potential vulnerabilities in the production environment
  • Providing a clear set of service models to understand the impact of service outages on business activities

Card 17

Question

A service provider has created new services to improve business processes. The services have the right functionality and meet all service levels expected by the customers. The sponsors have complained that the improvement in business process performance is not as much as they expect.

What action should the service provider take NEXT?

Answer

  • Review sponsors' understanding of service levels
  • Review the user training
  • Review the utility of the service
  • Review the warranty of the service

Card 18

Question

A service provider spends a long time carefully planning and designing its new services with its customers and users. There is high customer and user satisfaction with the services when they are introduced. The satisfaction levels dramatically reduce for most services during the first year of live operation.

Which is the BEST approach to improve this situation?

Answer

  • Increase the length of the initial service design activity
  • Continually review and improve the design of the live services
  • Improve the measurement and metrics of the new services
  • Offer free service upgrades to customers when their satisfaction levels start to dip

Card 19

Question

An organization has introduced Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) to continuously enhance their software with new and better features and bug fixes. Pressure to quickly release these changes often leaves little time for testing activities.

Which approach would the ‘service validation and testing' practice recommend to ensure
that adequate testing occurs?

Answer

  • Conduct testing throughout the development lifecycle
  • Leverage chaos engineering principles to help test service reliability
  • Stop deployments that cause testing failures
  • Automate the installation of software in the testing environment

Card 20
