Major Incident Management Overview
A major incident is an unplanned outage or degradation in service that has a significant impact on the University’s ability to conduct its business. The critical systems list and SLA priority matrix should be used together to determine if something is a Major Incident. In general, an outage to a critical system will be a major incident.
Guidance around the communications for a major incident can be found in the ICT Internal Major Incident Communications Protocol
The goal of the Major Incident Management process is to reduce the customer impact of major incidents by ensuring that they are resolved as quickly as possible and communicated appropriately.
