Release, deployment, and configuration traps

This lesson targets the definition traps that cost marks in LO6: release vs deployment, configuration item vs IT asset, and event vs incident.

The exam shortcut

When two answers both sound plausible, route by the verb:

make available = release move into environment = deployment managed to deliver service = CI financial value = IT asset change of state = event

Trap map

Release management

Service configuration management

Keeps accurate and reliable information about services and the configuration items that support them.

Monitoring and event management

Observes services and components, then records and reports selected changes of state as events.

Lesson 4 rule

Lesson 4 will be selected from your Lesson 2 responses. If change authority or change types are weak, we revisit change enablement. If Lesson 2 is solid, we move to incident vs problem vs known error.
