Example: Analyze and view the summarized metrics of problem tickets

Colin, a Problem Manager, wants to view and analyze all the problem ticket metrics, so he opens the Problem Management Summary dashboard.

From the data displayed in the Problem Management Summary dashboard, Colin takes necessary action to resolve the problem tickets, view the top 10 support groups and services with the most number of problems, view the problem impacts, and analyze the problem resolution rates versus workaround rates. Colin also analyzes the problem submitting trend, so that she can keep track of all the submitted problem tickets.

Based on these summarized problem metrics, Colin can keep a track of problem tickets, and prioritize their resolutions accordingly.
