1. Identify the event Define the incident in detail to assist you in describing your operational issues

2. Find the root cause Finding the root causes of problems is important for defining suitable solutions

[{"selector":"#anim-5722890c-cd17-4cad-94d5-2935339a098c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(9.318181719746702%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4c74f5bf-f684-4a35-9602-c7a14b1c18e6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

3. Look for solutions When the root causes of the problem have been identified, involve your team in discussing solutions

[{"selector":"#anim-954d66fa-3829-4f62-bd43-1fbc74f615f0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-10.227272917115926%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b7245e7d-c0aa-4c16-aa9b-7075b91db903","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Don't forget to take into account how the solutions will impact all business areas

4. Set up a plan Set up a plan with the team to implement the solutions

[{"selector":"#anim-524e18be-9536-46b3-859f-6540c3ecab37 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-85f995a0-7859-4ab1-aaa1-a25c394cb5dd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The plan should outline the activities, identify who is in charge of carrying them out, and include a timetable
