ITIL · 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. In ITIL problem management, neither 'at any time when useful' nor 'only after a workaround is found' precisely captures the correct condition for raising a known error record.

Why each option

In ITIL problem management, neither 'at any time when useful' nor 'only after a workaround is found' precisely captures the correct condition for raising a known error record.

A2onty

Limiting known error records to only after a workaround is found contradicts ITIL guidance, which permits raising them as soon as the root cause is identified regardless of workaround availability.

B1 only

Saying records can be raised 'at any time when useful' is imprecise because ITIL ties the known error record to a specific condition - root cause identification - not general usefulness.

CNeither of the aboveCorrect

ITIL defines a known error as a problem with a documented root cause, and the known error record should be raised once the root cause is identified - not simply at any arbitrary time. Statement 1 is too broad because root cause identification is the specific trigger, not general usefulness. Statement 2 is too restrictive because ITIL explicitly allows a known error record to be raised before a workaround exists, as long as the root cause is known.

DBoth of the above

Both statements are individually inaccurate in capturing the precise ITIL condition for raising a known error record, so selecting both together does not yield a correct answer.
