ongoing improvement of products, services, and practices, or any element involved
in the management of products and services." Ref 5.1.2

C. Correct. "Service level management identifies metrics and measures that are a
truthful reflection of the customer’s actual experience and level of satisfaction with
the whole service," and "Engagement is needed to understand and confirm the

by the service provider or has been agreed several years before." Ref 5.2.15.1

4 C 7.1.b A. Incorrect. While it can be used after deploying a change, this is not the main use
of the change schedule. "The change schedule is used to help plan changes, assist
in communication, avoid conflicts, and assign resources. It can also be used after
changes have been deployed to provide information needed for incident
management, problem management, and improvement planning." Ref 5.2.4
B. Incorrect. "Emergency changes: These are changes that must be implemented
as soon as possible; for example, to resolve an incident or implement a security
patch. Emergency changes are not typically included in a change schedule, and the
process for assessment and authorization is expedited to ensure they can be
implemented quickly." Ref 5.2.4
C. Correct. "The change schedule is used to help plan changes, assist in
communication, avoid conflicts, and assign resources." Ref 5.2.4
D. Incorrect. Standard changes are already pre-authorized and do not need to be
included on a change schedule. "These are low-risk, pre-authorized changes that
are well understood and fully documented, and can be implemented without needing
additional authorization." Ref 5.2.4
