About this listen
Where incident management is about quick restoration, problem management focuses on addressing the root cause of recurring issues. In this episode, we’ll dive into how problem management identifies underlying faults, performs root cause analysis, and reduces the likelihood and impact of future incidents. ITIL makes a clear distinction between incidents, which are immediate disruptions, and problems, which are the causes behind those disruptions. This practice ensures organizations don’t spend all their energy on firefighting but instead build long-term stability.
We’ll use examples like recurring system crashes or repeated login errors to show how problem management investigates beyond surface symptoms. Techniques such as the “Five Whys” or causal analysis are applied to uncover systemic issues. On the exam, remember that incidents and problems are linked but not the same, and that problem management aims to eliminate causes rather than just restore service.
