Definitions
Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
- A Metric that is used to help manage a process, service or activity.
- Many Metrics may be measured, but only the most important of these are defined as KPIs and used to actively manage and report on the process, service or activity.

- His primary goal is to improve efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover knowledge.
Known Error
- A Known Error is a problem that has a documented root cause and a Workaround.
- Known Errors are managed throughout their lifecycle by the Problem Management process.
- The details of each Known Error are recorded in a Known Error Record stored in the Known Error Database (KEDB).
- As a rule, Known Errors are identified by Problem Management, but Known Errors may also be suggested by other Service Management disciplines, e.g. Incident Management, or by suppliers.
- → ITIL processes, ITIL Service Operation > Problem Management
Known Error Database
- The Known Error Database (KEDB) is created by Problem Management and used by Incident and Problem Management to manage all Known Error Records.
