I'm new to ITIL and looking for feedback/opinion on whether or not the presence of a known workaround affects the priority (urgency vs. impact)?
The workaround is valid but means the user has to change the way they would normally do things.
A little bit of background: an in-house application has search functionality built into it. A release over the weekend messed up some of that search.
The values that were in drop-down menu 1 are now in drop-down menu 2. The values that were in drop-down menu 2 are now in menu 1.
Could a known workaround, applied to a P2 ever mean that the priority is lowered to a P3 or even a P4? For me, I see a P3 as only ever affecting one user.
The urgency may change but the impact doesn't as it still affects the same number of users without the workaround.
Does the presence of a workaround affect the priority of an incident?
The incident can be closed if the work around is applied and the users can use the functionality
The classification - priority and severity - should not be changed
And it also depends on your IM Policy
