CIS-ITSM · Question #78

Your customer wants to know why users with the problem_coordinator role can Communicate workarounds, and fixes; but users with problem_task_analyst cannot. How do you explain this?

The correct answer is A. The technical resources working on the problem investigation are focused on the technical details. The problem_coordinator role can communicate workarounds and fixes because coordinators own the communication and stakeholder management responsibilities in Problem Management, while analysts focus on technical investigation.

Why each option

The problem_coordinator role can communicate workarounds and fixes because coordinators own the communication and stakeholder management responsibilities in Problem Management, while analysts focus on technical investigation.

AThe technical resources working on the problem investigation are focused on the technical details,Correct

ServiceNow Problem Management separates technical investigation (handled by problem_task_analyst) from problem coordination and communication (handled by problem_coordinator). The coordinator is accountable for notifying stakeholders about workarounds and resolutions, which requires elevated permissions not granted to analysts who are focused on the technical work.

BThe problem coordinator is responsible for approving or rejecting the proposed message

Approving or rejecting a proposed message is not the explanation for why the coordinator can initiate communication while the analyst cannot; the distinction is about role responsibility scope.

CThe message will be automatically displayed on the Portal

Automatic portal display is a system behavior that describes where a message appears, not why one role has permission to create the message and another does not.

DThe problem coordinator is the only role with the ability to recall a message

The ability to recall a message is an additional coordinator capability but does not explain the underlying reason why coordinators - and not analysts - have the permission to communicate workarounds.
