ITIL
The Information Technology Infrastructure Library, a best-practice framework for IT service management covering processes such as incident management, problem management, and change management.

The industry often refers to ITIL's incident management practices and Google SRE's Incident Command System to build fault management processes, and the latter emphasizes designating an Incident Commander, clarifying role divisions, and the cadence of external communication.
Investigating, Identified, Monitoring, and Resolved on the status page come from the standard state machine of the ITIL incident management process: Investigating means the anomaly has been learned of but the root cause has not yet been confirmed; Identified means the root cause has been located and the fix direction determined; Monitoring means the fix has gone live and entered the observation period; Resolved represents the closure of the incident.
The CMDB (configuration management database) is the core practice in the ITIL framework for recording configuration items and their relationships, but in reality CMDB maintenance often lags behind actual changes, causing CMDB drift.
The ITIL framework explicitly separates Incident management from Problem management: the goal of incident management is to restore service as quickly as possible, while the goal of problem management is to identify the root cause and permanently fix it.
The escalation policy mechanism originates from ITIL's (IT Infrastructure Library) incident management framework and was further developed by enterprise-grade tools such as PagerDuty.
