[All ITIL 4 Foundation Questions]

An organization asks a stakeholder to review a planned change. Which guiding principle does this demonstrate?

ACollaborate and promote visibility

BStart where you are

CFocus on value

DKeep it simple and practical

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The second step is to conduct an objective current-state assessment of existing services and service management practices. This should include consideration of the users' perception of the value being received, along with a review of people's competencies and skills, the processes and procedures involved, the capabilities of the available technological solutions and the prevailing organizational culture. The success of an improvement initiative depends on a clear and accurate understanding of the starting point and the required impact of the initiative.

For example, an organization can measure the current net promoter score (NPS) from a customer satisfaction survey, conduct a benchmark survey against its competitors or review findings of operational statistics or audit reports to understand its current state. If this step is skipped, the current state will not be understood and there will not be an objective baseline measurement against which improvement can be measured.

"Start where you are" sounds familiar too, but I feel like that’s more about assessing the current state rather than involving stakeholders directly.

Wait, wait, wait... they're asking a stakeholder to review a planned change? Sounds like a classic case of 'the blind leading the blind'! But hey, at least they're keeping it simple and practical, right?
