Change Management
Making calculated changes to improve the state of products and services, change control deals
more with changes in people aspects.
Change Management: Standard Change
Low risk changes that have already been assessed for risks.
Change Management: Normal Change
Can be either low or high risk but have not been assessed as well and may
need authority from higher ups.
Change Management: Emergency Change
Generally high risk changes that need to be made to respond to an
incident. Any time used to assess risks is ideal but there may not be much time for it in reality.
Problem Management
Monitoring, identifying, and managing problems within an IT service. Problems have the
potential to cause incidents.
Life Cycle of Service Operation
The Service Operation lifecycle stage includes the fulfilling of user requests, resolving service
failures, fixing problems, as well as carrying out routine operational tasks.

companies.

Life Cycle of a Ticket: On Hold
The responsibility for the incident shifts temporarily to another entity to provide further
information, evidence, or a resolution.
Life Cycle of a Ticket: Resolved -
A satisfactory fix is provided for the incident to ensure that it does not occur again.
Life Cycle of a Ticket: Closed
Incident is marked Closed after it is in the Resolved state for a specific duration and it
is confirmed that the incident is satisfactorily resolved.
Life Cycle of a Ticket: Canceled
Incident was triaged but found to be a duplicate incident, an unnecessary incident, or
not an incident at all.
SLA (Service Level Agreement)
