Knowledge Management Enhancement for SCCD

The Knowledge Base structure is outdated. Based on ITIL a Solution and a Workaround needs to be provided.

The Knowledge Management supports the Service Desk to solve incidents and to standardize the solution of requests.
In two layered Knowledge articles, all possible Incident causes will be recorded in Symptoms and all Solutions in will be documented in Workarounds .
Workarounds are fixed linked to a Symptom


The process Knowledge Management assures the accuracy of the data. And keeps the Knowledgebase up to date.
The changes made on Articles will be revisioned.
The changes can be minor changes without additional approval required or major with new approval required.

A user has a Incident to fix.
He looks for a checklist. Each checklist has a Symptom and a workaround.
A Symptom can have multilple Workarounds

A Symptom can be linked to one or many CI or Services
A Symptom has one Decision Tree ,
Workarounds can be in many to many Decsistion Trees to help to decide which woraround should be used or appyed.
A workaround is connected to 0 or many After Work steps to make the solution solid.
