Let’s dive into how Atlassian’s JSM stands out in the field of incident management.
Incident Management: A Systematic Approach
Incident management is the practice of addressing unexpected events or service interruptions and restoring services to their operational state. With Jira Service Management, teams can efficiently handle incidents while centralizing alerts and ensuring swift resolution.
Key Definitions:
- Incident: An unplanned service interruption or reduction in service quality.
- Major Incident: A critical incident with significant business impact that requires immediate, coordinated resolution.
- Problem: The underlying cause behind one or more incidents, which may not yet be identified.
Atlassian’s JSM empowers teams to manage incidents effectively through features like centralized communication, asset and configuration management, and automated alerts. Learn more about incident management.
AI Features Tailored for Incident Management
AI-powered tools in Jira Service Management introduce new levels of efficiency in managing incidents. Here’s how these features make a difference:
1. Smart Triage and Categorization
AI analyzes historical data to classify and prioritize incidents. This ensures the most critical issues receive attention first while routine incidents are handled systematically.

2. Automated Communication
AI-generated ticket summaries and updates enable stakeholders to quickly grasp the situation, reducing delays and promoting informed decision-making.
3. Virtual Service Agent
The JSM virtual service agent automates common queries, responds to requests with AI-generated knowledge base answers, and supports 24/7 service without adding to the team’s workload.

4. Enhanced Collaboration
AI-driven insights group similar incidents and recommend relevant articles or colleagues to tag for resolution. This collaborative approach accelerates decision-making and reduces bottlenecks.
A Comprehensive Process for Managing Incidents
Incident management in JSM is guided by a structured process that ensures no critical steps are overlooked.
Step 1: Initial Diagnosis
Front-line agents attempt to diagnose and resolve incidents. When necessary, issues are escalated to higher-level teams.
Step 2: Escalation
Incidents are routed to appropriate teams with detailed logged data, enabling swift continuation of the diagnostic process.
Step 3: Communication
Keeping stakeholders informed is critical. JSM allows teams to send updates to both internal stakeholders and customers via email or integrated platforms like Slack.
Step 4: Investigation and Diagnosis
Teams collaborate, consult additional resources, and use JSM’s asset management tools to pinpoint the root cause of incidents.
Step 5: Resolution and Recovery
The necessary fixes are implemented, restoring the service. JSM supports this with runbooks and automation tools to streamline the recovery process.

Step 6: Closure
The final step involves confirming the resolution with the original reporter and documenting the process for future reference.
