Mission creep is a phenomenon that occurs after a project begins and gains momentum, but then gradually grows beyond the original, intended scope. One day you wake up and realize that, instead of an efficient, manageable project, you’ve got a monster on your hands. For enterprises in the midst of dynamic growth, IT infrastructure is often beset by mission creep. The incumbent organization acquires smaller operations, integrates their technology, and soon things are out of control.

Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing and removing errors in the software. It is a process that can start at any stage of the software development, even as early as the software has been written. Sometimes, remote debugging is necessary. In the simplest terms, remote debugging is debugging an application running in a remote environment like production and staging.

Alerts are notifications from AIOps monitoring tools that indicate that there is an anomaly. IT teams get these alerts on their monitoring dashboard via emails or enterprise collaboration tools such as Slack or Teams. Service level agreements expect IT teams to analyze every alert within a specific timeframe and take appropriate action.
