A service provider is struggling to ensure timely incident resolution. The reports show that the majority of incidents that can be resolved without implementing a change are resolved on time.

What is the BEST approach for the service provider to improve the situation?
An organization experiences a high level of variation in the demand for its development services. The organization has the capacity to fulfil the overall level of demand but wants to reduce the variation so that it does not have to prioritize work at peak times.
Which action would BEST help the organization influence the demand for its services?
Which concept is commonly applied to help organizations process and interpret unstructured text, with the aim to produce summaries or translations?
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 the team can take to address leadership's concern?
What approach can ensure testing happens earlier in the development lifecycle?
A cross-functional team is designing a value stream to support the development of a new financial service. Some members of the team are suggesting that multiple value streams are needed.
Which factor would MOST LIKELY influence the need for multiple value streams?
An organization is writing its test strategy in order to define the test levels and test types that are in scope for testing. In the past, the organization has experienced service disruptions after some releases of a particular application. These disruptions were happening because the application caused other applications to generate errors.
Which test level should the organization focus on to address this weakness?
A large organization is planning to integrate multiple systems into its existing IT infrastructure. What approach should the organization consider to achieve effective integration?

A service desk uses triage to ensure they work on the most urgent tasks first. This sometimes causes user satisfaction issues, because low priority requests can wart a long time before anyone starts to work on them.
What is the BEST way to manage this issue?
A service provider is redesigning its service management system using value stream management and mapping. The service management team is reviewing the role of practices in various value streams. There is an argument about the role of deployment management as software development and service management teams see its role differently. What is the BEST approach to define the role of deployment management practice in value streams?
An organization has departments that are structured as Sales, Business Operations, and Quality Control. Each department has its own set of responsibilities, reporting lines and authorities, and they manage their internal processes independently.

A mobile app development company has implemented a new strategy in its software development process. Instead of large, infrequent updates, it now releases smaller updates every two weeks. These updates are shaped by regular user reviews and suggestions, which the company actively seeks and incorporates into each new version. Which guiding principle is this approach MOST closely aligned with?
A service operations team monitors a critical service. They receive thousands of events every day and operators are trained, so they know which events require a response. Sometimes they miss an important event and this causes service level targets to be breached.

During a service design workshop, a development team come up with lots of different possible design solutions, and then analyze these to select one of them to proceed with.
What ‘design thinking’ activity is this an example of?
