The connection between incident management and problem management

Incident management and problem management, once distinct practices carried out by separate teams, have become increasingly intertwined due to movements like DevOps. While they overlap significantly, it's still important to understand the differences between them. Incident management focuses on mitigating impact as quickly and efficiently as possible, while problem management aims to identify and address underlying causes of issues to reduce future incidents. Both are crucial in maintaining efficient software development processes, with incident management handling immediate resolution and problem management preventing recurring problems. The introduction of a more integrated approach has led to the convergence of these concepts under the broader term "incident management."
