To prepare for Incident Management, or for your Incident Management workshop if you are receiving assistance from Alemba's Professional Services team, consider the following before you begin configuring ASM. This step may require several meetings with relevant stakeholders. You should not attempt to implement Incident Management until you have completed this checklist.
As you will see, there is a lot to think about not the least of which is Security and Access considerations for your analysts, users, and the ASM system itself. Depending on your decisions below you may very well need to also secure system and service accounts, certificates, and other access permissions that will allow the Alemba API to integrate to other applications to receive and distribute data such as user accounts, configuration items, event alerts, and email messages.
Write down what you hope to achieve by implementing Incident management for your: Users, Support Staff, and for the Organization(s).
Specific ā The goal should be clear and well-defined.
Measurable ā You should be able to track your progress and know when itās achieved.
Achievable ā It should be realistic and attainable, not impossible.
