ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 60

Source exam: ITPEC IP April 2018Topic: Service Management

ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 60 of 100

Incident handling primarily aims to restore normal service quickly and minimize business impact, rather than investigate the underlying cause. The service desk may use a known workaround or escalate the incident; root-cause analysis is handled through problem management.

Answer (b)

Why not others:
- users should receive prompt status and workaround information rather than waiting for a final formal solution

- contact channels should reflect user and organizational needs instead of being restricted arbitrarily to one method

- all incidents and inquiries should be recorded, including those resolved quickly

Key rule: Incident management restores service; problem management identifies and removes root causes, and the service desk records and communicates throughout.
