ITIL 4 Practitioner: Service Desk

A one-day practitioner workshop on the service desk practice: how a service provider establishes effective communication channels with its users, captures and triages their queries, and integrates those communications into the value streams that resolve them. The day is built as exam preparation, so every part closes with questions in the style of the PeopleCert Practitioner paper.
