Free ITIL4-BRM sample questions

Correct answer: Ensuring that the service provider and consumer strategies are aligned

According to ITIL 4, one of the key Practice Success Factors (PSFs) for BRM is 'Ensuring that service provider and consumer strategies are aligned'. This ensures that IT capabilities directly support business objectives. Other PSFs include establishing constructive relationships and ensuring mutual understanding of value.

Correct answer: A Service Interaction

A Service Interaction involves a reciprocal action between the service provider and the service consumer (or their resources). Entering a branch to authenticate involves direct engagement with provider resources (staff or kiosks).

Correct answer: Basic relationship

A Basic relationship is transactional, often based on standard contracts/SLAs, suitable for commodity services where price and compliance are the main drivers. It lacks the deep integration of a Partnership.

Correct answer: Facilitating collaboration between the provider and consumer to ensure service outcomes meet shared expectations

Value Co-creation is the principle that value is not delivered unilaterally but created through active collaboration. The BRM facilitates this by bridging the provider and consumer.

Correct answers: Difficulty in establishing a unified view of service performance across different provider teams; Conflicting priorities between different IT functions preventing a cohesive response to business needs

Silos make it hard for BRMs to aggregate performance data and present a 'single source of truth' to the business.

Silos often lead to conflicting goals (e.g., Ops wants stability, Dev wants speed), making it difficult for the BRM to align IT with business strategy.

Correct answer: False

Service Consumers include users, customers, and sponsors. They can be internal (e.g., HR department using IT services) or external. Limiting them to external payers is incorrect.
