Key Concepts INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
What is an incident? An incident is an unplanned interruption or a reduction in the quality of a service. A request is a channel for users to request and receive standard services A problem is the underlying unknown cause of one or more incidents. Incident Management covers the entire lifecycle of an incident from its detection until its resolution and closure. Incident Management does not include root cause identification, trend analysis, and proactive implementation of changes targeted to prevent future incidents. These areas are part of the Problem Management process and/or Change Management process. These processes are covered in later phases of the program.
Definitions Title Description The process responsible for managing the lifecycle of all incidents. Incident Management ensures that normal service operation is restored as Management quickly as possible and the business impact is minimized. Incident An unplanned interruption to or reduction in the quality of an IT service. Failure of a configuration item that has not yet affected service is also an incident. Major Incident An incident with the highest category of impact and urgency for an incident. A major incident results in significant disruption to the business. (Global Incident) Workaround A temporary solution to an incident or problem that reduces or eliminates the impact on IT services but does not address the root cause.

Tool Demo INCIDENT APPLICATION
Creating a New Incident Steps - 1. Login into Service. Now (as a Fulfiller) 2. Navigate to Incident > Create New or type ‘Incident’ in the filter option 3. Populate all the fields with * (mandatory fields) 4. Once the fields are populated, click Save or Submit (see next slides for details)
Incident Handling • • An end user may contact the Service Desk via the Self Service Website and select Create Ticket. Service. Now will create an Incident record in the New state and assign it to the ITS Service Desk. The Service Desk agent will review the ticket, contact the end user for additional information, and complete the incident form, updating the Affected CI, Category, and Subcategory fields. If the Service Desk can resolve the issue they will Assign the incident to themselves, complete whatever tasks are required to resolve the incident, updating the Work Notes field, and change the state to Resolved. Service Desk agent can also assign the Incident ticket to a Fulfiller group (also known as an Assignment Group in Service. Now). This can be achieved in one of two ways. First, based on the Affected CI, the ticket will be automatically assigned to the team responsible for that CI. Secondly, the Service Desk agent can directly assign to the appropriate Assignment Group.
Incident Handling • • • Fulfiller teams will receive an email notification that an Incident Ticket has been assigned to their team in Service Desk > My Groups Work Anyone in that Assignment Group can assign the ticket to themselves or anyone in the group. Once a ticket has been assigned to an individual, it is visible in Service Desk > My Work. The Fulfiller should open and review the ticket. The Fulfiller should place the ticket state to Work in Progress. They can also place the ticket into one of several Pending States if it is necessary to open a Change Request or if they are waiting on information from the customer, a problem investigation, or reply from a vendor. The Fulfiller should keep track of everything they are doing in the Work Notes area.
Incident Handling • • • If the Incident needs to be assigned to another team, the Fulfiller can reassign the ticket to that team. Once the work has been completed and the service restored, the Fulfiller should select the Resolve Incident button. Mandatory fields in the Closure Tab, Close Code and Close Notes need to be completed. Also, the Fulfiller can check the Knowledge box to generate a draft Knowledge article. The Incident will close automatically in 5 days.
Key Concept – Impact, Urgency, Priority Incidents are processed in an order determined by three metrics available in the Incident form: • Impact - The potential impact that an unresolved issue has on the ability of the business to effectively carry on its activities or deliver its services • Urgency – The speed that is considered appropriate to resolve an issue of a given impact • Priority – How quickly the service desk should address the problem Impact Urgency 1 Unable to perform critical services, interruption or impairment to business operations 1 No workaround exists, requires immediate attention 2 Degraded ability to perform critical services, impacts one or more users 2 Workaround may be available, deadline dependent 3 Inability or degraded ability to perform functions that do not affect critical services 3 Does not require immediate attention
Key Concept - Prioritization Matrix The Prioritization Matrix reflects the Business Impact and Situational Urgency combinations and the resulting Incident/Problem Priority
Service Level Agreements (SLA) Name Duration Schedule Priority 1 Response 15 min 24 x 7 Priority 1 Resolution 4 hours 24 x 7 Priority 2 Response 1 hour 8 -5 Weekdays Excluding Holidays Priority 2 Resolution 9 hours 8 -5 Weekdays Excluding Holidays Priority 3 Response 4 hours 8 -5 Weekdays Excluding Holidays Priority 3 Resolution 18 hours 8 -5 Weekdays Excluding Holidays Priority 4 Response 9 hours 8 -5 Weekdays Excluding Holidays Priority 4 Resolution 45 hours 8 -5 Weekdays Excluding Holidays
SLA Notifications % of SLA Type Notification Sent To At 50% SLA Warning Fulfiller Assigned to Incident At 75% SLA Warning Fulfiller Assigned to Incident Ticket Coordinator
The incident lifecycle contains the following states: Incident State Value Description New is the default state when an incident is initially created. Tickets created from Call Forms default to “New” status. From “New” you can only move to an “Assigned” state. Assigned The Assigned state reflects that the incident has been assigned to a support group. From the “Assigned” state, you can move to “Work in Progress” but you must assign an individual in the “Assigned to” field. Work In Progress An incident in Work In Progress state indicates that the incident investigation work has started and is currently in progress. All “Work in Progress” incidents must have an individual assigned to it. From Work in Progress, you can move back to “Assigned” or into “Pending” or “Resolved. ” Pending Once you select “Pending” you must select a sub-state (Pending Change; Pending Customer; Pending Vendor, and Pending Problem). When in a Pending state, an individual must be assigned to the incident. From a “Pending” state you can move to “Assigned, ” “Work in Progress” or “Resolved. ” Resolved An incident will reach the Resolved state once the service has been restored, as determined by the resolver assignment group/assignee and categorized with a closure code and close notes. A resolved incident can be reopened and reverted back to “Assigned, ” “Work In Progress” or you can close the incident. Closed Incident will move to Closed state 5 business days after entering resolved state when closure method is set as “email” (passive closure). When closure method is set to “phone” (active closure) the incident can only be moved to closed state by a service desk agent through a manual action on the ticket.

Request Process Flow
Workflows in Service. Now § A workflow is a process built into the tool that closely follows the business process steps. Based on answers to questions in the Catalog Item form and the Catalog Item chosen, decision logic fires off approval requests and catalog tasks. § Over time the Service Catalog will expand to include many different types of service requests and catalog items. Each of these Catalog Items has the potential to have a different type of workflow behind it. § The three main roles – Requester, Approver, and Fulfiller, will always be present, but the actual steps and activities in the workflow may be different, based on the Catalog Item.
Next, select the appropriate Catalog. Select the header and the available catalog items are listed. Items listed are the top requested items. Some catalogs may have categories of items which might be broken down further into sub categories.
User selects the Catalog Item they would like to request. Note: the list of items in the Service Catalog will continue to expand as more items are added.
Selection of a catalog item opens the unique catalog form for that item. Requesters completes the form. Mandatory fields marked * When complete, select Order Now
Once the order has been placed, the system generates a message stating an order has been submitted and indicates the Request Number (REQ) and Requested Item (RITM). Status of the Request is kept track of by the graphic visual Stage tracker. Request Number - REQ Requested Item - RITM Tracker
Catalog Item Approvals and Tasks Based on the Workflow for that Catalog Item, Service. Now will generate the following: • One or more approval requests. Based on the value of the item, purchasing policy, of other policies, it may be necessary to obtain one or more approvals from individuals. • Once the items have been approved (if required), Service. Now generates Fulfillment tasks to various Assignment Groups. This may include purchasing, release form a storeroom, software installation, set up, etc
Service. Now APPROVAL QUEUES
Approvals Once an order has been placed, in most cases an approval is required. If the request is rejected, the request is closed. If the request goes to multiple approvers, only one approval is required and the remaining approvals are no longer required. Go to Service Catalog > My Approvals. This opens a list of Open Approvals waiting for the approver to take action. Selecting an Item opens the Approval form for that Requested Item
Approval Form The Approval Form gives the Approver the ability to Approve or Reject, as well as add comments to the record. Comments are added to the Activity Log
Approval Form If the approver wants to see more about the request itself before they approve or reject, they can hover the icon at the right of Requested Item Number. This will open a popup box containing all the details of the Requested Item. They can also click on the icon which will open the Requested Item record itself.
Requested Item Form When they click the icon, the Requested Item form opens. This form contains information about who requested it, what is the justification (if required), budget code (if required) and any specific information or options from the original Service Catalog page.
Requested Item Form At the bottom of the Requested Item form, as the request moves through the workflow, a cumulative list of the approvers from each stage is maintained along with the status or state of their approval or rejection. No Longer Required indicates that one of multiple approvers for that workflow state has already approved the request.
Service. Now FULFILLER TASKS
Fulfiller Tasks Fulfillment tasks will be sent to various defined fulfiller groups for that particular requested item. Members of the assignment group will receive email notification that a task has been assigned to the group.
The email will notify them that their group has a task waiting in My Groups Work. A member of the group should assign the Task to themselves or another member of the team. Once the task is assigned, the task will move to the individual. This can accessed by going to: Service Catalog > My Work This opens a list of open Catalog Tasks waiting for them to work on.
• The Fulfiller will open the Catalog Task record and review the work to be completed. • They should assign the Task to themselves and move the state to Work in Progress. • They should make notes in the Work Notes area as the progress the task. • Once they have completed all of the work, they should select Close Task record. Notes
When all the tasks have been completed and closed, the original Request status will be updated to Closed Complete The graphical status indicator will also update to Closed Complete
