Overview/Description
No process in IT service delivery is foolproof; at some point in time an unplanned interruption will most likely occur ranging from a minor incident to the disastrous crashing of a critical system. The key to surviving any type of incident lies in an organization's ability to deal with incidents, no matter how big or small, as quickly and efficiently as possible so that services resume and service levels are brought back within acceptable range with as little impact as possible on other processes, the organization itself, users, and customers. This course introduces the goal and scope of Incident Management. Specifically, the course covers the purpose of Incident Management, as well as the value Incident Management provides to the overall organization. In addition, the course covers the elements to consider when managing incidents, including timescales, incident models, and major incidents. This course will assist the learner in preparing for the ITIL® V3 Operational Support and Analysis Certification and is aligned with the ITIL® V3 Intermediate Capability Stream Syllabus. ---------------------------------------------------- ITIL® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce in the United Kingdom and other countries.
