JSDV2 Severity Level 1 and 2 Incidents

Incident Management Standard Operating Procedures

Incident Ticket Severity

Tickets will be assigned a severity based on potential impact to the organization and the urgency of the incident.  Customers are selecting Priority and Impact as tickets are created, the severities are assigned automatically based on the Priority and Impact that the Customers indicate.  The Severity level should be reviewed before the ticket is assigned to see if there are any variables that would affect this classification, such as impact to the business.
