Problem Management - Problem Categorization

Problem Categorization

Problems must be categorized (severity/priority) in the same way as incidents in order to trace a problem. Prioritize a problem implies to keep into account the impact of the incidents and the frequency of the occurrences. Problem priorization should take into account the severity of the problems. From an infrastructure point of view we can have:

  • Can the system be recovered, or does it need to be replaced?
  • How much will it cost?
  • How many people will be involved to fix the problem?
  • How long will it take to fix the problem?
  • How many additional resources will be involved?

Famous quotes containing the word problem:

    The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
