Problem management is about preventing and resolving the problems underlying interruptions of IT services. A set of shared techniques can make the difference between success and failure. ITIL® mentions a set of techniques as best practice, but does not cover how to apply them. This course bridges the gap for IT pros, giving them a concise introduction to the seven problem management techniques endorsed by ITIL, including:

• Brainstorming
• Ishikawa diagrams
• Kepner-Tregoe root cause analysis
• Fault tree analysis
• Component failure impact analysis
• Service outage analysis
• Post-implementation and major problem review
