Hi,

 

What is the difference between "problem_ coordinator" and "itil"?

I couldn't find the details when I checked the product documentation.
What can "problem_ coordinator" do and "itil" can't?

 

Best Regards,

Please find the below points

The Problem Coordinator user role has the following responsibilities:

  • Periodically perform analysis to see if new problems need to be registered.
  • Register problems.
  • Assign work to Problem Analysts and coordinate root cause analysis.
  • Register known errors.
  • Inform Problem Manager.
  • Assign known error to Problem Analyst.
  • Validate proposed solutions to known errors.
  • Validate outcome of closed changes and close known error.
  • Validate that a problem is solved.

ITIL roles are used to define responsibilities. In particular, they are used to assign owners to the various ITIL processes, and to define responsibilities for the activities in the detailed process definitions.

Hi Ankur,

 

Thank you for your answer.

Is there any difference other than whether or not the module "Assigned to me" is displayed?

Hi,

For Best Practices: The problem coordinator is the person which should be assigned to the Problems, so in your organization identify these users and grant them with the problem_coordinator role.

In this way, whenever they will login to the backend, they will be able to use the OOTB Application Menu "Assigned to me" in an easy way.

If I have answered your question, please mark my response as correct and helpful so that this thread can be closed and others can be benefited by this.

Thank you very much
