1

Log impact clearly

Capture the user or service impact, urgency and symptoms before focusing on a suspected technical cause.

  • Set priority from impact and urgency.
  • Link affected assets and related service work.
  • Record what is known, unknown and currently being tested.
2

Coordinate response

Assign an accountable owner, use comments for chronological updates and connect a problem record when investigation must continue beyond restoration.

  • Keep the queue and current status accurate.
  • Use the ops graph to inspect nearby assets, tickets and changes.
  • Create or link change work when remediation needs controlled execution.
3

Restore and learn

Record the resolution, evidence and follow-up work. Resolution restores service; a linked problem or change can address recurrence.

  • Confirm service restoration before closing.
  • Capture the effective fix and validation performed.
  • Link known-error, problem or change follow-up where appropriate.
