ServiceNow CIS-ITSM Practice Test 28
Question 270
During a ServiceNow IT service management review, the following issue is identified: A distributed outage started after two unrelated changes. Which verification finding BEST demonstrates a successful response? Select ONE answer.
- Other investigators avoid repeating disproven hypotheses
- The responsible factor is corroborated rather than assumed
- The change does not proceed blindly after failure
- No deployment is falsely recorded
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:The responsible factor is corroborated rather than assumed is the strongest observable validation evidence for this specific original ITSM educational case: A distributed outage started after two unrelated changes. The main technical reason is: Root-cause findings require evidence and controlled investigation; sequence alone does not establish causation.
Incorrect Answers
A:The appropriate response for this situation is: The responsible factor is corroborated rather than assumed. Its technical justification is: Root-cause findings require evidence and controlled investigation; sequence alone does not establish causation.
C:That option concerns Change implementation task planning. Root-cause findings require evidence and controlled investigation; sequence alone does not establish causation.
D:That option concerns Change review and closure criteria. Root-cause findings require evidence and controlled investigation; sequence alone does not establish causation.
Question 271
