Three different processes to restore service, investigate recurring failures and introduce controlled changes.
Recommended structure
- IntroductionThree different processes to restore service, investigate recurring failures and introduce controlled changes.
- Incident: restore serviceAn incident is an unplanned interruption or reduction in service quality. If email stops working, restore access first. Assignment groups, impact and urgency help route the work. A workaround may restore service before the cause is fully understood.
- Problem: investigate the causeProblem management investigates incident causes and reduces recurrence. Several outages may share a capacity issue. Link related incidents and document findings and workarounds. Not every incident needs a problem record; prioritize patterns with meaningful business impact.
- Change: control implementationA change might increase capacity or update software. Assess risk, schedule work, choose an approval path and prepare rollback. Connecting the records preserves the history from restoration through investigation to the final fix.
- ConclusionIncident restores, problem investigates, change controls implementation.
