ITIL 4 SRM case studies

ITIL 4 SRM · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The ITIL 4 Practice Manager – Service Request Management credential is one of the ITIL 4 Practice Manager certifications published by PeopleCert, designed for professionals who want to demonstrate practical capability in managing service requests as a value-creating practice rather than a ticket queue. It suits service desk managers, incident and request team leads, service management practitioners, consultants, and anyone moving from Foundation-level theory into applied practice-level work. Candidates typically arrive having already passed ITIL 4 Foundation, and they build on that base by studying how request management integrates with the wider ITIL 4 framework: practices such as incident management, problem management, service desk, service level management, and change enablement, plus the governance and value-stream context in which requests flow. Preparation should combine the official ITIL 4 practice guidance with hands-on reflection on your own request catalogue, workflows, roles, and metrics, because practice-level exams test application and judgement rather than recall of definitions alone. The ITIL 4 SRM case studies are 5 cases and about 4,372 words.
