ITIL · Question #472

Which is an example of improving service utility using service management automation?

The correct answer is D. Faster resource allocation. Service utility means fitness for purpose - what a service actually does - and faster resource allocation through automation directly expands that functional capability.

Why each option

Service utility means fitness for purpose - what a service actually does - and faster resource allocation through automation directly expands that functional capability.

APre-determined routing of a service request

Pre-determined routing of a service request streamlines process handling efficiency but does not directly improve the functional capability (utility) that the service provides to users.

BReducing the time to compile service data

Reducing time to compile service data is an operational efficiency gain that may support warranty aspects, but it does not improve the fitness for purpose (utility) of the service itself.

CMonitoring service availability

Monitoring service availability addresses service warranty - fitness for use - rather than service utility, since it concerns reliability and uptime rather than what the service functionally does.

DFaster resource allocationCorrect

Service utility is defined as fitness for purpose, referring to the functional capability a service provides to meet a specific need. Faster resource allocation via automation directly improves what the service can deliver, making it more fit for purpose. This contrasts with warranty improvements, which relate to availability, capacity, and continuity rather than core functionality.
