Think about the instability that recently hit Facebook and Instagram. This instability ended up taking both social networks down for a few minutes. Later, Facebook, the owner of the apps, reported that &#8220;a configuration change caused Facebook services to become unavailable.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, in this case, the incident would be the service instability, and the problem (root cause of the incident) would be that configuration change disclosed by Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the two terms explained, it becomes easier to understand what Incident Management and Problem Management are.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Incident_Management\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Incident Management?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can suspect from the name of the process, Incident Management is responsible for interruptions in services. Its goal is to get the service back up and running as quickly as possible, without necessarily finding or fixing the root cause (problem) of that incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this process, there are also major incidents, which are the responsibility of an organization&#8217;s senior management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the example you read about the interruption in the Facebook service, and in any example, it is difficult to define what a major incident would be. This happens because the organization itself defines a criterion for declaring an incident as severe or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to summarize, incident management records, prioritizes, escalates (if necessary), resolves, and closes an incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Problem_Management\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Problem Management?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Incident Management deals only with interruptions, Problem Management will focus on the root cause of the problems that cause these incidents. It identifies the reasons why incidents happened. This way, they ensure that such an incident does not happen again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Returning again to the example of Facebook, the Problem Management process would register the root cause of the incident (a configuration change). Thus, every time it was necessary to make an adjustment in this sense, those responsible would know what they should and should not do when changing a configuration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like incidents, problems must be recorded, prioritized, and resolved, and this resolution may bring some change to service management. In this case, it may be necessary to raise a <a href=\"https:\/\/itsmhouse.com\/change-management\/\">Change Request (CR)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is worth noting that, if the root cause is identified, but there is no immediate solution, the organization should list actions to reduce or mitigate its impact. Thus, Problem Management lists all known errors, making incidents less frequent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all that said, it becomes easier to understand the proximity between Problem Management and Incident Management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, is it clear what the difference is between the two processes?
