Effective problem management is crucial for maintaining the stability and efficiency of IT services. Traditional reactive approaches often lead to recurring issues and increased downtime. This paper explores the optimization of problem management through proactive knowledge base development, emphasizing the integration of knowledge management practices to identify and resolve underlying causes before they escalate into incidents. By analyzing case studies and implementing structured methodologies, organizations can enhance their problem management processes, reduce incident frequency, and improve overall service quality.
