Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A . Incorrect. The standard requires that service performance is assessed by monitoring and reporting against service level targets. However, it does not define specific KPIs, as these will differ depending upon the situation (organization, services, agreed targets etc).

B . Correct. The Specification (Part 1) of the standard defines the requirements to be satisfied in a certification audit.

C . Incorrect. The requirements need to be driven by the business needs of the customer, not by the standard. The standard can help to ensure that suppliers are managed towards the provision of quality services.

D . Incorrect. This is not the purpose of the ISO/IEC 20000 standard. The Specification (Part 1) of the standard defines the requirements to be satisfied in a certification audit.

C is an interesting choice, but I think it's a bit too specific. The standard is more about the overall requirements, not just supply agreements.

Hmm, I'm not sure about D. Total Quality Management is a different beast altogether. The ISO/IEC 20000 is all about IT service management, not general quality systems.

B is definitely the correct answer. The ISO/IEC 20000 standard clearly defines the requirements for a certification audit. That's what it's all about, right?
