          Example
          Example

          To ensure that critical issues are addressed first, a company defines a priority matrix for their IT team. For incidents with a high impact and high urgency, the priority is automatically set to critical. However, for an incident with high impact but low urgency, the priority is set to moderate to indicate it can be handled in a less immediate timeframe.

          Here is an example table that aligns with industry standards for defining automatic priority assignment.

          Urgency Impact Priority
          High High Critical
          High Medium High
          Medium High High
          Low High Moderate
          High Low Moderate
          Medium Medium Moderate
          Medium Low Low
          Low Medium Low
          Low Low Low
