Service Operation: Fulfilment, Access Management, and Problem Management in ITIL V4
In ITIL V4, Service Operation includes several essential
practices that ensure smooth, secure, and reliable service delivery. This
article dives into three pivotal practices:
- Fulfilment
– typically known as Service Request Management
- Access
Management
- Problem
Management
These practices are interconnected and form a robust
foundation for both exam readiness and real-world IT success.
🛠️ Practice Breakdown
Practice |
Purpose |
Key Activities |
Exam Tip |
Fulfilment (Service Request Management) |
Efficiently handle standardized user requests |
Logging, Approval (if needed), Fulfilment via Request
Models, Closure |
|
Access Management |
Manage user permissions and enforce security policies |
Authenticate users, Authorize, Provision or revoke access,
Audit logs |
Remember: “Do the right thing, to the right person” |
Problem Management |
Identify, analyze, and resolve root causes of incidents |
RCA, Known Error Database (KEDB) updates, Workarounds,
Trend analysis |
Know when proactive vs reactive modes apply |
🔄 How They Interact
- A Service
Request such as password reset is handled through Fulfilment
and often via Access Management.
- A
recurring access failure triggers Problem Management to identify
systemic issues.
- A
major incident in login services involves all three:
- Incident
logged as service outage
- Fulfilment
handles immediate user requests
- Access
Management investigates permissions
- Problem
Management leads root-cause analysis

📌 Why It's Exam-Critical
- Know
the flow: Request → Fulfilment; Authentication → Access Management;
Incident → Problem.
- Recognize
inputs and outputs: e.g., KEDB entries from Problem
Management, access tickets from Fulfilment.
- Identify
responsabilities: Who logs access failures? Who closes service
requests? Who conducts root-cause analysis?
✅ Study Tips
- Flashcards
– capture definitions and workflows for each practice.
- Scenario
Drills – e.g., “User requests new access rights” → map through
practices.
- Glossary
– ensure you clearly distinguish incident, problem, request,
and access.
- Visualization
– create flow diagrams showing how a single user issue can move through
all three practices.
