An organization is moving from a process-based approach to a value-stream based approach for managing user issues.
Which of these activities should the organization do FIRST?

• A. Consider how the service desk teams can be involved at an earlier stage in the creation of a service.
• B. Understand the situations in which incidents and service requests will be initiated
• C. Understand which steps contribute least to the support of the service
• D. Identify the activities which could be improved by the use of automation

In a fully automated ITIL 4 environment, tickets are created from event-stream alerts, enriched with CI-DB data, categorized by ML engines, surface contextual knowledge-article suggestions, and even trigger self-service deflection workflows. Multiple practices feed data into this engine, yet one practice must define and govern the end-to-end ticket lifecycle-covering channel integrations, taxonomy versioning, automated escalations, deflection criteria, status flows, and closure validations. Which ONE practice holds this overarching accountability?

• A. Service Desk practiceright
• B. Incident Management practice
• C. Event Management practice
• D. Knowledge Management practice

A service provider is struggling to meet the incident resolution objectives for some incidents.
Reports generated by the service management tools show that the resolution time is often longer than agreed in three types of situation: incident resolution requires a change to be implemented, incident resolution involves the internal software development team, incident resolution involves an external supplier. What should the service provider do to improve the situation?

• A. Review the incident resolution targets
• B. Review the change enablement practice
• C. Review the incident management practice
• D. Review the incident resolution value stream

An organization has received complaints from customers regarding incident resolution times. The organization is using value stream mapping to visualize the activities involved in restoring service following an outage. The team has designed an optimized flow that begins with the incident being generated by a monitoring tool, and ends when service is restored. Leadership is concerned that this approach has failed to provide the insight needed to reduce delays. Which is the BEST action this team can take to address leadership's concern?

• A. Introduce additional sources of demand
• B. Compare the map to actual activities
• C. Automate repeatable work activities
• D. Determine where work is sitting in queues
