What does the Problem Control in Problem Management Self-Assessment include?
The Problem Control in Problem Management Self-Assessment includes 247 structured questions across six maturity domains, a 5-level scoring rubric, an automated Excel gap analysis tool, six customisable domain report templates in Word, a Problem Control Maturity Matrix, integration checklists for incident and change management systems, and sample policy documents. All materials are provided as instant digital downloads in editable formats.
Are you failing to identify, prioritise, and resolve recurring IT issues before they cascade into major service disruptions? Without a structured Problem Control in Problem Management self-assessment, your organisation risks repeated outages, extended downtime, audit failures, and growing technical debt, all while your teams remain reactive instead of proactive. This comprehensive self-assessment gives you the exact framework to evaluate and strengthen your problem control processes across governance, identification, prioritisation, investigation, and resolution, ensuring alignment with ITIL 4, ISO/IEC 20000, and operational resilience best practices. The cost of inaction? Continued fire-fighting, missed SLAs, compliance exposure, and erosion of stakeholder trust.
What You Receive
- A 247-question self-assessment spanning 6 core maturity domains: Governance & Accountability, Problem Identification, Prioritisation & Triage, Root Cause Analysis, Resolution & Closure, and Continuous Improvement, each mapped to ITIL 4 problem management practices
- 5-level maturity scoring rubric (Initial to Optimised) for every question, enabling precise benchmarking of current capabilities and tracking of improvement over time
- Automated gap analysis worksheet (Excel format) that highlights high-risk areas, calculates maturity scores by domain, and generates a prioritised remediation roadmap within minutes
- 6 detailed domain assessment reports (Word templates) you can customise and share with leadership, summarising findings, risks, and recommended actions
- Problem Control Maturity Matrix that cross-references process maturity with business impact likelihood, helping you justify investment in process improvement
- Integration checklist for aligning problem management with incident management, change enablement, and risk management systems, ensuring no silos, no blind spots
- Post-implementation review template with KPIs such as mean time to identify root cause, percentage of recurring incidents reduced, and problem resolution rate
- Customisable policy and procedure samples, including criteria for problem initiation, escalation paths, and SLA definitions for root cause analysis timelines
How This Helps You
You gain immediate clarity on where your problem control process is weak, and what that means for service reliability and compliance. Each of the 247 questions targets real operational risks: unanswered root causes, duplicated investigations, delayed escalations, and unresolved technical debt. By completing this self-assessment, you move from guesswork to evidence-based decision making, identifying exactly which gaps expose you to audit findings, regulatory penalties, or major incidents. You’ll be able to demonstrate due diligence in operational resilience planning, align cross-functional teams around a common problem management framework, and reduce recurring incidents by up to 70% through targeted remediation. Without this assessment, you remain vulnerable to repeated failures, inefficient resource use, and loss of credibility with stakeholders who expect proactive service assurance.
Who Is This For?
- IT Service Managers implementing or improving problem management under ITIL 4 or ISO/IEC 20000 compliance requirements
- Problem and Incident Managers seeking to standardise investigation workflows and reduce mean time to resolution
