Close a major incident with a post-incident review
Reinforce ITIL major-incident close from incident-management training. The incident is not closed until service is restored, the PIR is scheduled, and the status page is updated.
- Confirm restoration against the success criteria.
- Update the status page.
- Update the requester.
- Capture a timeline while it is fresh.
- Schedule the post-incident review.
- Link related problems or known errors.
- Do not close the ticket while a workaround is still the only path and no PIR is booked.
