Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Callers can respond within the configured review period is the strongest observable validation evidence for this specific original ITSM educational case: Users require enough time to reject an unsatisfactory resolution.

Question 151
During a ServiceNow IT service management review, the following issue is identified: An incident auto-closes while a caller still reports an outage. What is the MOST DEFENSIBLE ITSM approach for this situation? Select ONE answer.
- Use supported reopen transitions when callers report unresolved or recurring symptoms
- Plan change implementation tasks with dependencies, ownership and evidence
- Configure incident automatic closure only with a clearly governed resolution window

Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Configure incident automatic closure only with a clearly governed resolution window is the strongest appropriate service management design for this specific original ITSM educational case: An incident auto-closes while a caller still reports an outage. The main technical reason is: Automatic closure depends on configurable policy and is not evidence the issue was originally solved.

- Data-quality risks are tracked to resolution
- The team identifies whether its configured closure policy needs adjustment
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The team identifies whether its configured closure policy needs adjustment is the strongest observable validation evidence for this specific original ITSM educational case: An incident auto-closes while a caller still reports an outage. The main technical reason is: Automatic closure depends on configurable policy and is not evidence the issue was originally solved.
Incorrect Answers
A:That option concerns Incident-to-problem relationship management. Automatic closure depends on configurable policy and is not evidence the issue was originally solved.
