You work as a Product manager for Marioiss Inc. You have been tasked to start a project for securing
the network of your company. You want to employ configuration management to efficiently manage
the procedures of the project. What will be the benefits of employing configuration management for
completing this project?
Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

A.
It provides object, orient, decide and act strategy.

B.
It provides a live documentation of the project.

C.
It provides the risk analysis of project configurations.

D.
It provides the versions for network devices.

Explanation:
Live documentation is provided by the configuration management, which supports in data and
progress availability anytime. Configuration status accounting acts to provide this service in the
configuration management. The configuration status accounting procedure is the ability to
record and report on the configuration baselines associated with each configuration item at any
moment of time. It supports the functional and physical attributes of software at various points in
time, and performs systematic control of accounting to the identified attributes for the purpose of
maintaining software integrity and traceability throughout the software development life cycle.
Versioning system information for hardware, software, and networking is a service beneficial to the
progress of the project. Versioning system information is provided by Configuration identification
process. Configuration identification is the process of identifying the attributes that define every
aspect of a configuration item. A configuration item is a product (hardware and/or software) that
has an end-user purpose. These attributes are recorded in configuration documentation and
baselined. Baselining an attribute forces formal configuration change control processes to be
effected in the event that these attributes are changed.
Answer option C is incorrect. Risk analysis is performed using Risk management. Risk Management is
used to identify, assess, and control risks. It includes analyzing the value of assets to the business,
identifying threats to those assets, and evaluating how vulnerable each asset is to those threats. Risk
Management is part of Service Design and the owner of the Risk Management is the Risk Manager.
Risks are addressed within several processes in ITIL V3; however, there is no dedicated Risk
Management process. ITIL V3 calls for “coordinated risk assessment exercises”, so at IT Process
Maps we decided to assign clear responsibilities for managing risks.

Answer option A is incorrect. Object, orient, decide and act strategy is followed when OODA loops
are employed as the business project strategy.
