In IT Service Management (ITSM), a "problem" refers to the underlying cause of one or more incidents. While incidents are single errors or deviations that impact users, problem management focuses on identifying and eliminating root causes to prevent recurrence.
Why focus on problem management?
The main goal of problem management is to prevent problems from occurring, and if they do occur, to prevent them from happening again.
Without a structured approach to problem management, organizations risk increased incidents, higher costs, and reduced customer satisfaction.
