Problem & change management
ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library: the industry-standard set of practices for running IT support as managed services.) problem records with a known-error database, and change requests gated by CAB (Change Advisory Board: the group that reviews and approves significant IT changes before they go ahead.) approval, sitting alongside the incident queue.
Problem management groups repeat incidents under a root cause, with a known-error database of documented workarounds.
1 / 2
For the operator
When the same incident keeps recurring, an agent opens a problem record and works the root cause, building a known-error database the whole team draws on. Changes route through the right approval, standard, normal, or emergency, and can't be implemented until the change advisory board signs off.
Business impact
Recurring pain gets fixed at the root instead of re-ticketed forever, and changes go through a controlled gate that satisfies the auditors. The practices clients expect from a mature IT shop are built in, not bolted on.
