Service Request Manager

The individual who prioritizes and sequences service requests to deliver the highest value in a continuous flow or Kanban system; essentially the product owner for this context.

Key Points

  • Owns and orders the service request backlog to maximize customer and business value.
  • Works in a flow-based environment (e.g., Kanban) focusing on smooth flow, lead time, and WIP policies.
  • Collaborates with stakeholders and the team to clarify needs, set priority, and define acceptance criteria.
  • Equivalent to a product owner role, accountable for what gets done next, not how the team implements it.

Example

An IT operations team uses a Kanban board for incoming requests. The Service Request Manager reviews new tickets daily, consults with support leads and business users, and reorders the backlog so urgent, high-value, or time-sensitive items are pulled first while respecting WIP limits and service policies.

PMP Example Question

In a Kanban-based support team, who is primarily responsible for deciding the sequence of service requests to maximize value?

  1. Scrum Master
  2. Service Request Manager
  3. Team Lead
  4. Key Stakeholder

Correct Answer: B - Service Request Manager

Explanation: In Kanban or continuous-flow environments, the Service Request Manager performs the product owner function by ordering work to optimize value delivery.
