Actual exam question for PeopleCert's ITIL DSV exam
Question #: 9
Topic #: 1
[All ITIL DSV Questions]

An organization is evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of replacing its legacy information systems with

cloud-based services as a part of its strategic plan. The market is extremely competitive, so the organization wants to

ensure that all factors are considered.

Which technique would allow this organization to BEST understand the external factors that could influence this

decision?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The technique that would best help the organization understand the external factors influencing the decision to replace legacy systems with cloud-based services is 'PESTLE analysis.' ITIL 4 suggests PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental) analysis as a comprehensive framework for understanding external factors that can impact strategic decisions. This analysis provides a thorough evaluation of the external environment, helping the organization make informed decisions.

I feel like business analysis could also be relevant, but it might not capture all the external influences as comprehensively as PESTLE. I’m a bit torn on this one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think stakeholder analysis focuses more on internal perspectives rather than external factors. So, it might not be the best choice for this question.

PESTLE analysis is definitely the way to go here. It provides a structured approach to evaluating the political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors that could impact the organization's decision. This will give them a well-rounded understanding of the external landscape.

I'm a bit confused by the options. Business analysis, stakeholder analysis, and four dimensions assessment all sound relevant, but I'm not sure how they differ from PESTLE. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I understand the distinctions between these techniques.
