The content is the key! Why are we doing this
If you needed to ask someone a question, then you must put both question and answer in the Knowledge Base. You should've found both there to begin with. --Wise Help Desk Guru
Knowledge base definitions • The computerized collection, organization, and retrieval of knowledge. • A collection of related experiences and their results. These results can then be related to problems and solutions.
Reference Docs Problem Solutions What goes in the ITSM KB? How To’s • Content that solves reported incidents or problems of systems that ITS supports. • Information that helps resolve an incident or finds root causes to a problem. This may include solutions or workarounds. • Also included are documents that support ITSM itself, and are used by staff who support ITSM. Known Errors Work Arounds ITSMKB Knowledge
Key takeaway • It is an ITS tool • NOT a Service Desk tool • Think of the KB as a living and breathing entity. • Maintaining the documents is how the KB is kept alive. • Give feedback • Don’t expect the Service Center to update documents: if it’s yours or your group’s update it!
KB users don’t see themselves as accountable How do we engage themabout maintaining documents?
Author Roles • Assignee The following roles and user types are participants in the Knowledge process. In many cases, they are interchangeable. • Support Group Administrator • KM Process Manager • KM Process Coordinator
