Techniques for KCS® Practice 1 are designed to efficiently collect essential information.

KCS Practice 1 Techniques

Capture is the critical first step in the KCS Double Loop process that drives continual content improvement. Important requester information to capture includes the user's description of the issue, the environment, root cause, and the resolution.

Technique 1.1 - Capture Knowledge in the Moment

Just-in-time knowledge creation means create KCS articles in the moment of interaction and make them immediately available for internal search.

Additional details, including a resolution, may be added to the article later. Waiting to draft the article until after a resolution is confirmed leaves too much opportunity to miss important context that occurs during the interaction.

Technique 1.2 - Capture the Requester's Context

Record the user's perspective, including a description of the issue using their words, which is a necessary step to ensure findability for the next person who experiences a similar issue.

Technique 1.3 - Searching is Creating

Proactively capture user activity before they engage with your support channels. The history of their search queries and articles viewed become valuable to create new articles or improve findability of existing articles.
