1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,045
How would you respond
if I asked you,
2
00:00:03,045 --> 00:00:05,520
do you know how long it'll
take me to get to the bank?
3
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:09,225
You'd probably ask, where
are you, where's the bank?
4
00:00:09,225 --> 00:00:12,300
Are you walking,
driving, biking?
5
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,100
But if you just
guessed the details of
6
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:16,260
my situation to direct
me to the bank,
7
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:19,335
your response would be a
day late and $1 short.
8
00:00:19,335 --> 00:00:21,810
It seems such a
natural thing to ask
9
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:24,810
questions and gather
information to solve a problem.
10
00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:26,475
But it's usually
one of those most
11
00:00:26,475 --> 00:00:28,409
overlooked steps and
troubleshooting.
12
00:00:28,409 --> 00:00:30,240
Troubleshooting
is the ability to
13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,535
diagnose and resolve a problem.
14
00:00:32,535 --> 00:00:34,850
One of the most difficult
skills to acquire in
15
00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:36,240
an IT role isn't
16
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,009
technical knowledge, but
effective troubleshooting.
17
00:00:39,009 --> 00:00:42,710
Rather that's helping someone
face-to-face or remotely.
18
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:45,425
It's not specific to
the IT world either.
19
00:00:45,425 --> 00:00:48,110
We use troubleshooting
skills everyday.
20
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:49,520
My car is broken,
21
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,040
the light bulb went
out. I feel sick.
22
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,500
Imagine if you went to
your doctor and said,
23
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:57,710
I feel sick and without
any other information,
24
00:00:57,710 --> 00:01:00,155
he gives you a prescription
for allergy medicine,
25
00:01:00,155 --> 00:01:01,550
time to find a new doctor.
26
00:01:01,550 --> 00:01:03,545
Well, this might
seem far-fetched.
27
00:01:03,545 --> 00:01:06,245
This can happen pretty
often in the IT world.
28
00:01:06,245 --> 00:01:09,380
We're so in the habit of fixing
things that sometimes we
29
00:01:09,380 --> 00:01:12,475
try to fix something without
diagnosing it first.
30
00:01:12,475 --> 00:01:14,090
We're going to give
you the tools you need
31
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:15,965
to develop good
troubleshooting habits.
32
00:01:15,965 --> 00:01:18,620
No matter how big or
small the problem is,
33
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:20,390
the first thing to do
in troubleshooting
34
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:22,880
is, ask questions.
35
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,595
There are a lot of factors
that can cause a problem.
36
00:01:25,595 --> 00:01:27,290
You want to make sure you gather
37
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:30,125
all your data before you
start to tinker with it.
38
00:01:30,125 --> 00:01:31,715
Over the next several videos,
39
00:01:31,715 --> 00:01:33,785
we're going to
demonstrate real-world
40
00:01:33,785 --> 00:01:36,605
in-person and remote
troubleshooting scenarios.
41
00:01:36,605 --> 00:01:38,285
For the in-person scenarios,
42
00:01:38,285 --> 00:01:39,815
you'll meet Gail and Marty.
43
00:01:39,815 --> 00:01:42,185
And yes, we have another
Marty joining us.
44
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:44,480
But he spelled his
name with a y and I
45
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,985
still mine with an i,
confusing. I know.
46
00:01:46,985 --> 00:01:50,345
Please keep in mind these
are not professional actors.
47
00:01:50,345 --> 00:01:52,850
We want to give you the
opportunity to see how
48
00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:54,170
these different scenarios would
49
00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:56,225
play out in real-world settings.
50
00:01:56,225 --> 00:01:58,220
Let's look at a
quick scenario of
51
00:01:58,220 --> 00:01:59,750
a not so awesome troubleshooting
52
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:02,760
interaction and an awesome one.
53
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:06,850
My computer's broken.
54
00:02:08,990 --> 00:02:11,770
This looks bad. I think
55
00:02:11,770 --> 00:02:13,540
you're going to need
a new computer.
56
00:02:13,540 --> 00:02:16,160
It's going to be
about a 1,000 bucks.
57
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,830
My computer's broken.
58
00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:27,250
Can you tell me a little bit
more about how it's broken?
59
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:29,110
Does it turn on at all?
60
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:32,380
Has there been any damage to
it lately that you know of?
61
00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:34,225
Well, when I hit
the power button,
62
00:02:34,225 --> 00:02:37,570
I hear a Ding, but nothing
comes up on screen.
63
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:39,935
Oh, okay. Can I take a look?
64
00:02:39,935 --> 00:02:40,635
Sure.
65
00:02:40,635 --> 00:02:45,010
Let me just see
what's going on here.
66
00:02:48,590 --> 00:02:52,450
You know what, the
brightness was turned down.
67
00:02:52,450 --> 00:02:56,350
These brightness buttons are
a little bit fiddly and it's
68
00:02:56,350 --> 00:03:00,400
easy to hit them by
accident. There you are.
69
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,990
Great. Thank you.
70
00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:03,295
You're welcome.
71
00:03:03,295 --> 00:03:05,905
If we didn't ask
follow-up questions,
72
00:03:05,905 --> 00:03:07,480
we wouldn't have
realized the issue is
73
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,895
something as small
as screen being dim,
74
00:03:09,895 --> 00:03:11,665
but it's important that
you're able to gather
75
00:03:11,665 --> 00:03:14,725
enough information to start
troubleshooting an issue,
76
00:03:14,725 --> 00:03:16,555
whether it's big or small.
77
00:03:16,555 --> 00:03:17,890
With a little digging,
78
00:03:17,890 --> 00:03:19,000
we're able to understand
79
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,030
the situation and effectively
troubleshoot the issue.
80
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:23,920
What's also really
important to call out
81
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,660
from the scenario is the tact
82
00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:27,310
and make the user
feel silly for not
83
00:03:27,310 --> 00:03:29,445
realizing the screens
brightness was down.
84
00:03:29,445 --> 00:03:31,250
Can you think about a
time someone made you
85
00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:33,125
feel silly or even dumb?
86
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:35,285
It's a pretty terrible feeling.
87
00:03:35,285 --> 00:03:37,730
Don't be that person that
does it to someone else.
88
00:03:37,730 --> 00:03:39,620
Remember, IT support is
89
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:41,570
about working in the
service of others.
90
00:03:41,570 --> 00:03:44,705
Always try to create a positive
experience for the user,
91
00:03:44,705 --> 00:03:47,105
will deep dive into
customer service later on.
92
00:03:47,105 --> 00:03:48,980
In the meantime,
I'll see you back in
93
00:03:48,980 --> 00:03:51,960
the next video on
isolating the problem.
