ITIL :: View topic - Service Desk Role in incident closure
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 9:26 pm Post subject: Service Desk Role in incident closure
Who should close the incident ideally (i.e writing closure details in tool) service desk or technical staff... for ex if any call has been attended and resolved by tech staff via personal visit, now what is it he should to do close incident..
option1:- inform service desk and ask them to close the incident by providing resolution details to them
option2:- he himself should open the browser and close the incident...
In theory the Service desk owns the Incident from cradle to grave and is responsible for it including closure. However this, like all functions can be "delegated" to others, so if the desk trusts the support teams to close the call with the appropriate level of information then they can do so.
I have seen hybrids of this in the past, where the engineer puts the call into a "resolved" status a review function exists which closes the call after checking with the customer that everything is OK.
