GUIDE STATUS: PUBLISHED 

Impact is a measure of the effect of an Incident on business processes. Impact is based on how service levels will be affected and the number of end users affected.  Usually the ticket creator (Caller or the Help Desk) sets initial impact.  Any assignee can adjust the impact of an incident as insight into the issue grows.
