Parametrization - Problem
Problem Management manages the lifecycle of all problems from the first identification, through to investigation, documentation, and eventual removal.
The "Problem" parametrization must be made to allow the execution/use of this process. It may be possible to define the default flow name for the problem, to define whether the responsible party and the executing group will be notified when the time to work around the problem has expired, among other viable actions.
