What is problem management? In ITSM terms, an incident is a single unplanned interruption or reduction of the quality of an IT service. A problem, on the other hand, is a larger issue. ITIL™ defines a problem as “a cause or potential cause of one or more incidents.” Problem management entails the set of processes and activities responsible for managing the lifecycle of all problems that could happen in an IT service.

In the modern enterprise, the terms IT service management (ITSM) and IT operations management (ITOM) are often used interchangeably. While they are both similar by nature, they have important differences as well. ITSM is focused on the development, delivery, and management of IT services. ITOM is more about the management of the processes that enable and govern those services. Effective ITOM seeks to optimize operational processes to achieve outcomes and meet or exceed metrics deemed important to the business.
