Incident reporting and communication begin simultaneously so that as an incident is identified, we communicate clearly to the customer that a disruption is taking place and investigation is in progress. Impact assessments guide the description of priority and severity - these are used to determine the level of support. Diagnosis helps to isolate specific effects from the root causes and identify the synergy between the incident, changes to the technical environment and documented issues.
