Field Scenario
A support team repeatedly resolves the same type of incident for different customers but has never formally investigated the shared underlying cause.
What You Actually Recommend
- Initiate a genuine problem management investigation into the shared root cause
- Document the situation as a known error with an appropriate workaround in the meantime
- Distinguish this reactive problem management effort from simply repeating the same individual incident fixes
- Recognize this as directly connected to the pattern recognition skill covered in the help desk course
