What the Course Entails and Exam Details

This practice test is an invaluable tool that mirrors the core pillars of the official Genesys Cloud WFM course and certification exam. It focuses on the fundamental concepts and practical application of the platform’s tools. To excel in both this practice test and the final exam, you must have a deep understanding of the following core topics:

• WFM Configuration and Setup: Understanding how to define the structural and operational components of a WFM environment, including Business Units (which can contain up to 5,000 agents), Management Units, and the creation of Service Goals. You will also need to configure Activity Codes (On Queue, Break, Time Off, etc.).

• Work Plans: Mastering the creation and management of work plans, which define the weekly, weekend, and daily constraints for scheduling, including shift trade rules and agent matching criteria (languages, skills, and queues).

• Forecasting: Gaining expertise in creating accurate short-term forecasts of interaction volume and average handle time. You must understand the four primary creation methods: Automatic Best Method Selection (up to 6 weeks), Weighted Historical Index, Weighted Historical Index with Source Data Import, and Import Forecast.

• Schedules: Learning to use the scheduling engine to generate forecast-based and custom schedules, and mastering the process of making intra-day adjustments.

• Real-Time and Historical Adherence: Understanding how to monitor agent adherence to their schedules in real time, analyze historical adherence, and apply variance data to improve future plans.

• Time-Off Management: Learning how to configure time-off limits, manage time-off plans, and process agent time-off requests effectively.

The primary activities of Workforce Management covered are forecasting workload, planning work schedules, managing agent time and adherence, and monitoring and analyzing historical data.
