ServiceNow CIS-ITSM Practice Test 89
Question 880
During a ServiceNow IT service management review, the following issue is identified: Two teams disagree on whether a database supports a customer portal. What is the MOST DEFENSIBLE ITSM approach for this situation? Select ONE answer.
- Maintain relevant CI dependency relationships for operational impact analysis
- Configure change forms and UI policies that enforce intended user guidance
- Apply identification and reconciliation rules to prevent duplicate or conflicting CI updates

Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Maintain relevant CI dependency relationships for operational impact analysis is the strongest appropriate service management design for this specific original ITSM educational case: Two teams disagree on whether a database supports a customer portal.
