incidents to IMT)
>> It’s aiming to ensure that Incidents are properly reported to the Incident Management
Team so that we will be having the following at the end:
- Comprehensive reports for EG services performance.
- Provide more clarity to Business on services performance.
- Ability to perform trend analysis.
- Improve response time to incidents.
- Clear documented process to be followed by all stakeholders.
Below are some of the questions we started to answer during the initiative:
- Do we always report things to Incident Management and how swift?
- Do we know how to identify a production issue VS an incident with customer impact?
- Do we understand the full picture and impact during an incident?
>> Some of the gray points:
- Who is responsible for recording outages ?
- How is service outage recorded ? Example of outages ?
- Are degraded services considered in calculations?
- Where is the service downtime/availability calculated ?
- How do Help desk/Support teams handle outages ?
- What actions does the Helpdesk take after receiving an IR ( Incident Report) ?
- How do IM send IRs ?
- Who receive IRs ?
- Are infrastructure services monitored ?
