19 Problem Logging Source: Victor Kapella, A Framework for Incident and Problem Management

20 Problem Logging SharePoint List

21 Problem Categorization

22 Problem Categorization New Taxonomy Vertical Summarization - Ability to roll-up data and summarize at meaningful levels. Horizontal Comparison - Ability to compare ticket volumes by discrete issues across the enterprise.

23 Problem Prioritization Weighs all the open problems against common criteria and places importance on the most valuable opportunities. The criteria can be based on cost, resources required, length of time to fix or complexity really whatever criteria is most relevant for the business.

34 Problem Review Meeting Successful process sets aside the common practice of blaming people for problems and failures, but instead focuses on how things can be done in a better way. Improvement in a process is accomplished by seeking to learn what causes things to happen in a process and to use this knowledge to reduce varation, remove activities that contribute no value to the product or service produced and improve customer satisfaction. Lord Kelvin once said, If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it. In problem management, establishing a set of measurable goals and objectives is crucial. Metrics are the key to any successful program and process. Subsequently, breaking down high level organizational goals and objectives into smaller, team level goals and objectives so that they can be distributed and understood by individual team members as a part of their daily operation of the process. 5. Follow-up on Workarounds and Resolutions 6. Review Data and Log Savings 4. Gain Agreement on Issues to Address 1. Introduction Meeting 3. Execute the Meeting 2. Summarize the Quarterly Data Source: Handbook for Basic Process Improvement & Cisco Problem Management White Paper

35 Roles & Responsibilities Source: Problem Management in Technical Support, April 2014

36 Risks DATA lack of sufficient data, or an incapability to collect data, ACCOUNTABILITY the process is used to assign blame instead of identifying root causes; or management doesn t want to hear about bad news or weaknesses in systems or people, DISCIPLINE lack of effort or resources to carry out the process, or a failure to build and maintain a useful knowledge base, IMPACT an inability to determine business impact of incidents. Source: Effective IT Service Management: To ITIL and Beyond

37 Conclusion Use Data (PDCA) Assign Cost & Effort Focus with 80/20 Partner, don t Blame Track Your Savings
