In the world of IT Service Management (ITSM), incidents are a common occurrence. An incident is any event that disrupts or reduces the quality of a service or system. These incidents can have a significant impact on the organization's ability to function, which is why it's critical to have a standardized process for reporting and addressing them.

An "Incident Report" template is a pre-defined format for documenting and reporting incidents. It typically includes fields for the reporter's name and contact information, the date and time of the incident, the affected system or service, the severity level, and other relevant details. By using a standardized template, organizations can ensure that all incident reports are documented in a consistent and organized manner, which makes it easier to track, prioritize, and address them.

On our side, we offer a variety of Jira templates to choose from, each tailored to best suits a department's needs.
