Incidenciakezelési, often translated as incident management, is a crucial process in IT service management (ITSM) and other operational fields. Its primary goal is to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible and minimize the adverse impact on business operations, thereby ensuring that the best possible levels of service quality and availability are maintained. An incident is defined as an unplanned interruption to an IT service or a reduction in the quality of an IT service.

The incident management process typically involves several key stages. The first is incident identification, where a problem is detected, either by users reporting an issue or through proactive monitoring systems. This is followed by incident logging, where all relevant details about the incident are recorded in a system. Next is incident categorization, which involves assigning the incident to a specific category or type to aid in routing and analysis. Incident prioritization is then performed, assessing the business impact and urgency to determine how quickly the incident needs to be resolved.

Following prioritization, incident diagnosis and investigation take place to understand the root cause of the problem. Once diagnosed, the incident is assigned to a support group for resolution. Resolution and recovery involve implementing the necessary fixes or workarounds. Finally, incident closure occurs after the user confirms that the service has been restored to normal operation. Effective incident management reduces downtime, improves customer satisfaction, and contributes to the overall efficiency of an organization.
