Preview — answers shown1. Which part of the ISO/IEC 20000 family contains the auditable requirements that an organization must meet to achieve certification? (Select one!)
AISO/IEC 20000-1
BISO/IEC 20000-10
CISO/IEC 20000-2
DISO/IEC 20000-3
Explanation
ISO/IEC 20000-1 is the only part of the family that specifies requirements for a service management system and is the standard against which organizations are certified. ISO/IEC 20000-2 provides guidance on application, ISO/IEC 20000-3 provides guidance on scope definition, and ISO/IEC 20000-10 describes concepts and vocabulary. None of these other parts contain auditable requirements for certification.
2. Which document in the ISO/IEC 20000 family is the only one against which an organization can achieve certification? (Select one!)
AISO/IEC 20000-10:2018
BISO/IEC 20000-1:2018
CISO/IEC 20000-2:2019
DISO/IEC 20000-3:2019
Explanation
ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 is the only part of the family that specifies auditable requirements for an SMS and is the only part against which certification is possible. ISO/IEC 20000-2:2019 provides guidance and recommendations but is not a requirements standard. ISO/IEC 20000-3:2019 provides guidance on scope and conformity, and ISO/IEC 20000-10:2018 describes core concepts and terminology. None of these other parts are certifiable.
3. A new employee asks what the acronym SMS stands for within the context of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018. Which definition is correct? (Select one!)
AShort Message Service
BService Monitoring Strategy
CSystem Management Standard
DService Management System
Explanation
In the context of ISO/IEC 20000, SMS stands for Service Management System. It is a management system to direct and control the service management activities of the service provider. Short Message Service is a telecommunications term unrelated to this standard. System Management Standard and Service Monitoring Strategy are not defined terms in the ISO/IEC 20000 family.
4. Which document in the ISO/IEC 20000 family describes the core concepts, identifies how different parts support Part 1, and includes the terminology used in all parts? (Select one!)
AISO/IEC 20000-1:2018
BISO/IEC 20000-2:2019
CISO/IEC TS 20000-5:2022
DISO/IEC 20000-10:2018
Explanation
ISO/IEC 20000-10:2018 describes the core concepts of the ISO/IEC 20000 family, identifies how the different parts support ISO/IEC 20000-1, and includes the terminology used in all parts. ISO/IEC 20000-1 contains the requirements, ISO/IEC 20000-2 provides guidance, and ISO/IEC TS 20000-5 provides implementation guidance for subsets or new adopters.
5. An organization is planning its SMS and identifies risks and opportunities. Which clause of ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 requires the organization to determine these risks and opportunities based on context and interested parties? (Select one!)
AClause 6.1
BClause 9.1
CClause 4.1
DClause 8.1
Explanation
Clause 6.1 (Actions to address risks and opportunities) requires the organization to consider the issues from Clause 4.1 and requirements from Clause 4.2 to determine risks and opportunities. Clause 4.1 is about understanding context, Clause 8.1 is operational planning, and Clause 9.1 is monitoring and measurement.
