Simplified Issue Resolution Process

As a customer support leader, are you managing the end to end issue resolution process that spans Tier 1 and Tier2 Support through Engineering and QA? Are issues slipping through the crack? Are issues not being resolved across teams efficiently?

Below is a simplified issue resolution process for you…but a few things to note before diving in:

  • This is a simplified flowchart and needs to be adjusted for your environment.
  • The overall idea is to have a feedback loop between teams so that there are checks and balances to ensure escalations are valid, and once they have been verified, teams can follow through.
  • Feature request process has been left out of scope, but I'll be posting another blog on how to influence feature roadmap.
  • SLA and SLO timings depend upon your specific external agreements with customers and internal agreements with cross functional teams.

With those caveats, let's jump right into the flowchart 😬

Is this flowchart close or far away from the process at your organization? Let me know if you have questions or comments at sri@rejoy.io. I'd love to hear from you!

Once you have established a process across teams, the next hurdle is to automate this process especially when your teams and data are spread across several tools. In this blog post, I dive deeper into how to automate your process using internal SLOs across your cross functional teams.
