Question 3 ID: 501

When it comes to marking a second-line fix as resolved:

B. The second-line tech who provided the fix should ensure the user’s satisfaction and mark the call as resolved.

C. Marking the call as resolved is an administrative function, not a technical one and so should be done by a job co-ordinator or automated in the ITSM system.

Answers

Question 5 ID: 499

We keep getting interrupted by VIPs trying to get us to give their requests top priority. As Manager, my response should be:

A. Accept these requests. After all, the VIPs are important and they have clout. If we don’t respond immediately, they’ll only complain to our boss anyway.

B. Tell them to join the queue like everybody else. After all, how would they like it if we were working on their request and we had to stop because somebody even more important told us to?

C. Look at whether we need a genuine VIP service. Calculate how much manpower it will take and ringfence it, apprising the business of what that will cost. Then make it a business, not IT responsibility, to decide whose names should be on the VIP list.
