Hi Abhinav, More Informative finally chosen right video to understand IM roles. Would be mine to provide more videos on IM roles, how to improve MTTR services. Clear understand mechanism of IM roles.
Good morning, I hope you are well... I have a question about Incident Management; If an incident must be validated by two or more resolution analysts or two or more areas are involved, it is okay to implement tasks or task flows so that the characters involved in the solution can register their participation.
Abhinav thanks alot for the video it was very clear for me to understand, I worked for a BPO in TCS where we need to work on the tickets and alert on Major Outage incidents, I want to enter in to the Incident Manager and I have completed my certification in the ITIL Foundation Level. Could you please guide me in entering in to IM Roles and please do provide me with the few documents which will reallly help me. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Regards, Naren.
Abhinav very good and helpful explanation. Would you have some more tips how to work as an Incident Manager? More tips about the conferences and the process? or any material which approaches that in a specific way for who is starting on this job?
Does this mean that service delivery manager and Incident manager does same duties sort of? I'd like to see the same Video in an Agile Environment for Software/Test Department. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Abhinav. I would like to be a part of such discussions on various ITIL processes and the roles involved. Is there any forum or community you would suggest, that will help to participate and gain more knowledge.
ok lets say a user reported an issue with his/her computer using online reporting or by sending email or leaving a voice mail. but the message was missing key information like computer serial number or location of the computer in the company etc. My question, do you log a ticket or log a ticket and put it on pending waiting for the user to call back with full info? Thank you.
If e-mail address is available: We will log ticket on the behalf of the user and send an e-mail to the user asking the required information to investigate the issue. after that we will copy /paste the e-mails detail in the ticket as a private comment. If e-mail address is not available: We will try to contact the user via chat application like, skype, lync, etc. and the copy/paste the chat in the ticket as a private comment and keep the ticket in Waiting for response status. If issue is reported as a ticket in ticketing tool, we will add a comment seeking required information from the user for further investigation and keep the ticket in Waiting for response status.
Role of an incident manager ============================ Introduction to incident Management process Role of an incident Manager in general Role of an incident Manager during Major incidents Incident Management process: Incident is unplanned interruption or reduction in the quality of IT service for eg. you are not able to print as you have run out of ink cartridges this is an interruption to the print service can be called as an incident. The management of such outages is the essence of incident management process. Purpose: The purpose of an incident management is to restore normal service as quickly as possible and minimize business impact. Now in the case of print services, IT department can give you an option to print some documents through another printer while you wait on the procurement of the ink cartridges to go through. what is imp. during resolution? You are able to print documents whether from your preferred printer or another printer is immaterial. Incidents can be reported either by users, or by tools like monitoring systems and even the technical support staff can login incidents when they are able to identify one.The person who is responsible for smooth functioning of the incident management process is the incident manager. Role in general Ensure technical support teams follow incident management process during incident resolution. The incident manager is tasked with ensuring that the documented incident management process is followed by everybody who comes under the scope. for eg. technical support team, suppliers, service desk and the incident manager himself. The incident manager produces inicident reports and other management reports as required by the process. He also keeps tab on the defined KPIs and publishes KPI REPORTS AS WELL (produce management and KPI reports) Incident manager needs to check the pulse of the incident management process to assess its effectiveness and to identify improvements Assess effectiveness of the incident management process and identify and make recommendations for improvement. On a regular basis he must audit the process controls. whether all the parties who come under the process are adhering to the process or not. (Audit the incident management process). All the most companies have quality person doin this activity. according to ITIL it is one of the responsibilites of the incident manager. Role during Major Incidents: The incident manager plays the critical role during the resolution of major incidence. for starters, all major incidents come to the incident manager for assessment of priority. the incident manager determines the priority of the incident based on the urgency of the resolution and the impact that the incident is causing(Assess the priority of an incident based on urgency and impact) Bring Technical support teams on a bridge to lead service restoration (In todays setup not all the technical support are located in the same building, windows support running out of the phillipines and you need support some where in india and database could be in uk while the customer sits and enjoys service in the US. During the major incident it is necessary all the technical support teams come together virtually to work as a team towards service restoration.Let's see how the communication must take place during major incidents) Incident Bridge =============== 1. Communication during major incidents will be through telephone only, no emails (one of the best practices of the major incident management is to perform all communication activities as the support over telephone is spontaneous or instantenous which is not on email that immediate.) 2. Bring various support staff on a single bridge and facilitate towards service restoration (The incident manager and his team will be required to call the technical support teams and ask them to join the tech bridge. The incident manager will facilitate the discussion towards incident resolution. he may not be a technical person who can provide solutions but he is definitely some body who can call upon the right teams to bring up on their expertise in the resolution of major incidence. 3. The focus of the incident bridge is to resolve the incidents as quickly as possible and nothing else. I will run a mock bridge discussion in the next slide to showcase what generally happens on an the incident bridge and how the incident manager must be geared to tackle such situations. Mock discussions: When there are major incidents running, incient manager sends out timely updates to the senior management and to the customer. (publish senior management and customer real time communication.) This activity sounds to be administrative one but it is not. senior management and customers panic whenever there are major impacts. A good crisp communication will calm their nerves in understanding that the teams are working on that issue and not sitting on it. The incident management will also lend this knowledge to the problem management team in their efforts to identify their root cause. I must make one thing clear though The incident manager is not responsible for identifying the RCA, but can support in sharing information that he came across during the incident that can potentially help in identifying the root cause. (Support the problem management process in their efforts to identify the root cause)
