An IT operations manager may also develop guides for users and technicians, such as FAQ documents or employee handbooks for IT department personnel.

Resolve Help Desk Escalations
IT operations managers may provide direct user support by handling help desk or service desk escalations. If IT technicians are unable to successfully resolve a user’s issue, the IT operations manager will assess the situation and devise a solution to the problem, which could include equipment replacement or repair if the problem is related to the end user’s hardware or software.
