The correct answer is C: Technology metrics, process metrics and service metrics. CSI relies on three specific metric types - technology, process, and service - to measure and drive improvement across the entire service lifecycle.

Question

Which three types of metric support Continual Service Improvement (CSI) activities?

Options

ATechnology metrics, service desk metrics and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics
BProcess metrics, software metrics and financial metrics
CTechnology metrics, process metrics and service metrics
DService metrics, technology metrics and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics

Explanation

CSI relies on three specific metric types - technology, process, and service - to measure and drive improvement across the entire service lifecycle.

Common mistakes.

A. Service desk metrics is not one of the three defined CSI metric categories - the service desk is a function, and its measures fall under process or technology metrics rather than forming a distinct top-level category.
B. Software metrics and financial metrics are not among the three ITIL-defined CSI metric types - ITIL classifies metrics as technology, process, or service, not along financial or software dimensions.
D. KPI metrics are a subset of process metrics in ITIL, not a standalone third category, so listing KPIs alongside technology and service metrics creates a redundant and non-standard set.
