Which is a Practice Area under Delivering & Managing Services (DMS)?

• A. Service Delivery Management (SDM)
• B. Product Integration (PI)
• C. Peer Reviews (PR)
• D. Supplier Source Selection (SSS)

Answer: (A)

Delivering & Managing Services focuses on organizing and controlling how services are provided to customers, ensuring service levels, continuity, and overall service performance. The best choice, Service Delivery Management, directly embodies this by coordinating and managing the actual delivery of services to meet customer needs, monitoring how services are consumed, and driving improvements in how services are delivered. It covers planning service delivery, aligning it with customer expectations, and handling ongoing operation and optimization of service provision. The other options don’t fit this area as tightly. Product Integration is about assembling components to form a product or system, which is more about product development than delivering ongoing services. Peer Reviews are a quality-improvement activity aimed at evaluating work products for defects, not specifically about delivering and managing services to customers. Supplier Source Selection concerns choosing external providers, which is part of supplier management rather than the ongoing delivery and management of services themselves.
