ServiceNow CIS-ITSM Practice Test 33
Question 320
A service team is reviewing this ITSM implementation case: A supplier has not responded to a critical diagnostics request. What should the team SPECIFICALLY configure or do? Choose ONE best answer.
- Invoke the defined vendor escalation path
- Compare recurrence before and after deployment on equivalent cohorts

- Verify compatibility against dependent clients before approval
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Invoke the defined vendor escalation path is the strongest concrete implementation or handling step for this specific original ITSM educational case: A supplier has not responded to a critical diagnostics request. The main technical reason is: Problem escalation routes decisions and resources without claiming the root cause is already known.

Question 325
An ITSM implementer faces this business situation: A root-cause fix was deployed through an approved change. Which design or handling approach MOST DIRECTLY addresses the requirement? Select ONE best answer.
- Implement change approval rules tied to risk, state and appropriate authorizers
- Close a problem only after validating its resolution and required documentation
- Configure problem records to support assessment, root-cause work and resolution through a governed lifecycle
- Design requested item fulfillment flows with explicit steps and exception handling
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Close a problem only after validating its resolution and required documentation is the strongest appropriate service management design for this specific original ITSM educational case: A root-cause fix was deployed through an approved change. The main technical reason is: Closing a problem depends on documented causal and corrective evidence under the configured model.
