The ability to resolve a problem efficiently is critical for both you and your customers. But what happens when you have dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of customers each contacting you with the same issue? While you may be able to resolve each of their incidents one at a time, the loss of time, revenue, and resources is far too great to manage this way. Effective Incident Management is not just about resolving incidents as quickly as you can. It's about having the ability to identify and address widespread incidents, developing processes for handling categories of incidents as efficiently as possible, and taking proactive steps to address problems before incidents even occur based on patterns you see in incidents being reported.
This course covers the nine steps in the Incident Management process, including identifying, categorizing, and closing incidents. This course also details the different ways incidents can be triggered, and the interfaces of incidents and Incident Management with other processes. Finally, the course covers the challenges, risks, and critical success factors of managing incidents effectively.
This course will assist the learner in preparing for the ITIL® Operational Support and Analysis certificate and is aligned with the ITIL® Intermediate syllabus.
