The Foundation stage of the CSDM framework focuses primarily on establishing the core structure of

your CMDB. This involves:

Defining the scope: Determine which services and applications will be managed within the CMDB.

Building the foundation data model: Implement the core CSDM classes and their relationships. This

includes key classes like Application Service, Business Application, and Technical Service Offering.

Populating foundational data: Start populating the CMDB with basic information about your core

services, applications, and the technologies that support them.

Why not the other options?

A: While network infrastructure CIs are important, they are not the primary focus in the Foundation

stage. The focus is on the core service and application model.

B: Accurate business information is crucial for reporting, but the Foundation stage prioritizes

establishing the structural relationships within the CMDB.

D: Working with ITSM tables is part of the broader CMDB implementation, but the Foundation stage

focuses on the core CSDM classes, which extend beyond ITSM.
