Incident Management
1: Problem management aims to resolve the root causes of
incidents and thus to minimize the adverse impact of incidents
and problems on business that are caused by errors within the IT
infrastructure, and to prevent recurrence of incidents related to
these errors.
5. 2: Configuration management is one integrated database that contains all the details about employees,
workstations, devices, incidents, problems, changes, and complete details of all Components in
business. It provides a public knowledge base of known errors and solutions
That can help employees search and resolve minor incidents themselves without contacting the helpdesk
Configuration management is the management and traceability of every aspect of a configuration from
beginning to end and it includes the following key process areas under its umbrella:
Identification
Planning
Change control
Change management
Release management
Maintenance
3: Change management with workstation and printer problem history from the CMDB shows that the
printer has been failing repeatedly. To eliminate the problem, the printer needs to be changed and
replaced with a new printer to restore normal services. A change is initiated to resolve a problem and a
proposal is raised to replace the old faulty printer with a new printer.
A proposal to change printer is submitted for approval, the approver can be IT manager or
COO based on the cost of purchase. A detailed plan is prepared to implement change with a
Roll-back plan acting as a safety net. After implementing the change, the requestor needs to
Verify that change was successful.

as possible and minimise the adverse effect on business operations, thus
ensuring that the best possible levels of service quality and availability are
maintained. 'Normal service operation' is defined here as service operation
within service-level agreement.
