Problem Management (Dependency and Controlling)

The Dependency and Controlling Model shows how a certain ITIL process interacts with other ITIL processes by displaying which data/information is exchanged between the processes.

Furthermore all the interfaces to other ITIL processes are modeled so that an end-to-end process overview is achieved.
