Why each option
Workaround details discovered during problem management must be documented in the problem record so they are accessible to support teams handling related incidents.
A Service Level Agreement defines agreed service targets and responsibilities between a provider and customer, not operational workaround or technical resolution details.
In ITIL problem management, the problem record is the central document that captures all information about a problem, including any workarounds identified. When a workaround is found, it is recorded in the problem record and can be promoted to the Known Error Database (KEDB). This ensures support staff can apply the workaround to restore service while a permanent resolution is developed.
The Availability Management Information System is a repository for availability data, metrics, and reports - not for storing problem workarounds.
The IT service plan is a high-level strategic document outlining planned services and improvements, not a repository for technical workaround details.
