When a problem is Closed, it typically cannot be reopened after a certain period (e.g., 7 or 14 days, depending on system configurations). If management wants to revisit the root cause analysis after some time, they should use the Re-Analyze action, which allows re-examining the problem without violating ITIL best practices. The Problem Manager is the appropriate role to perform this action, as they oversee problem investigations and ensure they align with business needs.

"You can reanalyze the problem even after it is closed by clicking Re-analyze. The state of the problem changes from Closed to Root Cause Analysis." https://docs.servicenow.com/en-US/bundle/utah-it-service-management/page/product/problem-management/task/resolve-and-complete-problem.html
