Communicate to stakeholders throughout the entire lifecycle of an incident 2. Minimize Escalations whenever possible 3. Build a Robust Knowledge Base 4. Integrate your NOC's Tools for Maximum Efficiency 5. Establish a Framework for Operational Service Levels A Simple ITIL Incident Management Checklist: 1. Is your team communicating effectively through the entire lifecycle of an incident, or are key parties left out of the loop in some stages? 2. Is your incident management workflow designed to ensure that the lowest-tiered team handles incidents appropriately for the issue at hand, or are advanced resources routinely distracted by lower-tier incidents? 3. Are you using templates for troubleshooting and communication to ensure all the necessary information has been gathered before reaching out to another stakeholder or escalating an issue? 4. Are those responsible for managing incidents cataloging their successes into a knowledge base, and are staff routinely referencing that knowledge base when managing incidents? 5. Are your monitoring and management tools adequately integrated, and is the data gathered across them made available through a single view? 6. Are you capturing all the metrics you need to gauge the success of your incident management workflow accurately? #incidentmanagement #incident #itil #itsm #bestpractices
