Once a Problem has been detected through Incident analysis or reports, the first thing you’d want to do is record and maintain all the details associated with the Problem systematically. This aids in the next step of investigation of root causes and diagnosis of the Problem. Meticulously following these processes can help ascertain what’s causing the problem and the level of impact it will have on your users. The easiest way to have a log of all Problems or view any progress on it - is by adding and updating the Analysis reports.
