Hey IT enthusiasts!
Ever wondered how the big players in the IT realm manage their myriad of problems and yet deliver seamless services? Well, let’s decode one of their secret sauces: Managing Problem Records in ISO 20000 style. Buckle up, it’s going to be a techie ride!
Problem Records: Keeping Tabs on Actions
In the IT universe, when a problem arises, it’s not just about noting it down. It’s crucial to update the problem records with every action taken. Think of it as a living diary that gets richer with every entry.
Change Management: All Hands On Deck
To resolve some pesky problems, changes might be required. And guess what? These changes need to be orchestrated per the Change Management Policy. It’s not just about making changes but making them systematically.
Root Causes: Playing Detective
Sometimes, our IT sleuths identify the root cause, but the villain (read: problem) isn’t permanently vanquished. What next? The organization should chalk out actions to mitigate or eradicate the problem’s impact on services. It’s like setting traps for that recurring villain.
Known Errors: The Rogue’s Gallery
While every hero has their archive of villains, in IT, we have known error records. Updated details about these miscreants (known errors) and their workaround solutions should be readily available. So, the next time that villainous error pops up, the IT squad knows just what to do!
Problem Resolution: Monitoring & Reporting
After slaying the IT dragon (solving the problem), it’s not time to hang up the boots just yet. The effectiveness of the resolution must be kept under a vigilant eye, reviewed, and reported. Because, as in every good story, sometimes the dragon has a twin!
Documentation in Problem Management:
Interestingly, it bears quite a resemblance to Incident Management. While cloud-based platforms are the rave for managing problems, small organizations don’t need to feel left out. There’s a handy model that dishes out all the info needed to manage an incident effectively.
And there you have it! With ISO 20000 guiding the way, managing problem records becomes less of a maze and more of a structured journey. So, the next time a tech hiccup appears on the horizon, you know the drill: record, manage, and resolve the ISO way!
Till our next tech rendezvous, keep those servers humming and keyboards clacking! Cheers!
