A major Incident is the one with highest-impact and highest-urgency and that largely affects the entire organization. Immediately after a Major Incident is reported as a next step the right stake holder teams must be informed about the same. ![Major incident](https://cdn.document360.io/62351b42-cfbd-43ad-8ce1-82b8f455337f/Images/Documentation/Major%20incident.png)
