ITIL-FOUNDATION · Question #396

When tan a known error record tie raised? (1) At any time when it would be useful to do so (2) After a workaround has been found

The correct answer is C. Neither of the above. This question - which contains apparent typographical errors - tests the precise ITIL criterion for raising a known error record, which is root cause identification rather than workaround availability or arbitrary timing.

Why each option

This question - which contains apparent typographical errors - tests the precise ITIL criterion for raising a known error record, which is root cause identification rather than workaround availability or arbitrary timing.

A2onty

Limiting known error record creation to after a workaround is found is too restrictive - ITIL permits raising the record as soon as the root cause is identified, even without a workaround.

B1 only

Creating a known error record at any arbitrary time without identifying the root cause does not meet the ITIL definition, making this statement imprecise as a standalone condition.

CNeither of the aboveCorrect

In ITIL, a known error record should be raised once the root cause of a problem has been identified and documented. Neither 'at any time' (too broad and imprecise) nor 'only after a workaround has been found' (too restrictive, as ITIL permits raising the record before a workaround exists) accurately captures this requirement as standalone conditions.

DBoth of the above

Because neither statement precisely and correctly describes the ITIL criterion on its own, selecting both as correct is also inaccurate.
