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.

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.
