Managing the Known Error
The Problem Manager reviews the known error and determines the
planning for the solution investigation and resolution. If an effective
workaround is identifed, the known error has a lower priority, and
the resolution may be deferred for a specifed period of time.
Once the related change record of the known error is closed the
known error record will automatically be transitioned into the known
error resolution phase.
In this phase the problem coordinator or manager will validate the
resolution and close the known error record.
Lastly the problem coordinator or manager will close the original
problem record.
