Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Major Incident Declared & War Room Assembled

A major service-affecting incident is declared. An incident commander assembles a "war room" of key technical and communication personnel.

Step 2 - Technical Triage & Investigation

The network operations team works to identify the root cause and restore service. A live "bridge" call is opened for all technical teams to coordinate.

Step 3 - Stakeholder & Customer Communications

The communications team provides regular, templated updates to customers via social media and status pages, and to internal leadership.

Step 4 - Post-mortem & Root Cause Analysis

After the incident is resolved, a blameless post-mortem is conducted to understand the root cause, the timeline of events, and to identify preventative measures to stop it from happening again.

The Purpose of Service Problem Management

This workflow is similar to IT Problem Management but is specifically for managing major, customer-facing service outages (e.g., a mobile network outage). When there is a "Major Incident," this process kicks in to coordinate the response across multiple teams, from the network operations center to customer communications, with the primary goal of restoring service as quickly as possible and keeping customers and stakeholders informed.
