clear path for users to report issues, queries,
and requests, and have them acknowledged, classified, owned, and
actioned"
Rationals:
B. Incorrect. The 'incident management' practice deals only with
incidents, not
queries and requests. "The purpose of the incident management practice
is to
minimize the negative impact of incidents by restoring normal service
operation as
quickly as possible". Ref 5.2.5
C. Incorrect. The 'change control' practice deals only with change
requests, not
,other queries and requests. "The purpose of the change control practice

maximize the number of successful service and product changes by
ensuring that
risks have been properly assessed, authorizing changes to proceed, and
managing
the change schedule". Ref 5.2.4
D. Incorrect. The 'service level management' practice ensures service
targets are
met. It does not manage queries and requests from users. "The purpose
of the

monitored,
and managed against these targets".

simply what is interpreted
by the service provider or has been agreed several years before."

align the
organization's practices and services with changing business needs
through the
ongoing improvement of products, services, and practices, or any
element involved
in the management of products and services." Ref 5.1.2
B. Incorrect. "The purpose of the service desk practice is to capture

D. Incorrect. "The purpose of the problem management practice is to
reduce the
likelihood and impact of incidents by identifying actual and potential

main use
of the change schedule. "The change schedule is used to help plan
