ITIL-FOUNDATION · Question #17

When can a known error record be raised? 1. At any time it would be useful to do so 2. After a workaround has been found

The correct answer is D. Both of the above. In ITIL Problem Management, a known error record can be raised at any point it is useful to do so, and does not require a workaround to exist first.

Why each option

In ITIL Problem Management, a known error record can be raised at any point it is useful to do so, and does not require a workaround to exist first.

A2 only

Statement 1 is also valid because a known error record can be raised before a workaround is found, making '2 only' an incomplete answer.

B1 only

Statement 2 is also valid because raising a known error after finding a workaround is standard practice, making '1 only' an incomplete answer.

CNeither of the above

Both statements are valid per ITIL Problem Management guidance, so 'neither' is factually incorrect.

DBoth of the aboveCorrect

ITIL defines a known error as a problem with a documented root cause and, optionally, a workaround. The Problem Management process explicitly permits raising a known error record at any time it is useful - including before a workaround is identified - so the error is tracked and visible to support staff. Both statements are therefore valid, making D correct.
