2. Ticket Resolution Process Overview
The Ticket Resolution Process consists of several stages, from ticket creation and assignment to resolution and reporting. Below is a breakdown of the key steps in the process.
A. Ticket Generation
- Source of Tickets: Support tickets can be generated through various channels, including:
- Email (e.g., users send an email to a designated support address).
- Webform (users submit a ticket via a contact form on the website).
- Live Chat (tickets are generated automatically when a user requests support via live chat).
- Phone Calls (support agents manually enter tickets during phone interactions).
- Ticket Information: The ticket should capture essential details such as:
- User Information: Name, email, and any relevant account or product identifiers.
- Issue Type: Categorized as technical support, account-related, feature request, etc.
- Description of the Issue: A detailed description of the user’s inquiry or problem.
- Priority Level: Based on the urgency and impact of the issue (e.g., High, Medium, Low).
- Attachments: Any supporting documents, screenshots, or logs provided by the user.
B. Ticket Categorization
- Ticket Types: Once the ticket is generated, it should be categorized into relevant groups, such as:
- Technical Issues: Problems related to the website’s functionality, broken links, or bugs.
- Account Support: Issues regarding user accounts, password recovery, or permissions.
- Feature Requests: Suggestions for new features or improvements.
- Billing and Payments: Questions about subscription plans, payments, and invoices.
- Automation of Categorization: An automated system should be employed to categorize tickets based on keywords or predefined rules. This helps in streamlining the process and ensuring that tickets are routed to the correct department.
C. Ticket Assignment
- Automated Assignment Based on Expertise:
- Objective: The primary goal is to automatically assign the ticket to the team member best equipped to handle it, based on their area of expertise.
- Process:
- Predefined Rules: Create rules to route tickets based on categories, keywords, or issue types. For example:
- Technical Issues might be assigned to developers or technical support staff.
- Account Issues might be assigned to customer service representatives or account managers.
- Feature Requests might go to the product development or product management team.
- Skills-based Routing: Implement a system where each team member’s skills and expertise are tagged in the support ticket system. This ensures that the most qualified person receives the ticket.
- Workload Balancing: Automatically balance the workload by considering the current number of open tickets for each team member. If someone is overloaded, the system will route the ticket to another team member with capacity.
- Escalation Rules: If a ticket is not addressed within a certain timeframe or if it’s marked as urgent, it should be escalated to a higher-level support agent or manager.
- Predefined Rules: Create rules to route tickets based on categories, keywords, or issue types. For example:
- Ticket Assignment Notification: Team members will receive automatic notifications when a ticket is assigned to them, either through email or an internal system alert.
D. Ticket Resolution
- Issue Diagnosis: The assigned team member will review the ticket, diagnose the problem, and attempt to resolve it based on their expertise.
- Collaboration: If the issue requires assistance from other team members (e.g., technical staff collaborating with customer service), the system should allow for easy internal collaboration and ticket sharing.
- Response to User: Once the issue is resolved or further information is required, the team member will respond to the user through the support ticket system, keeping all communication within the ticket for transparency.
- Resolution Documentation: The team member should document the solution or steps taken in the ticket for future reference. This documentation can also help build a knowledge base of frequently asked questions or common issues.
E. Ticket Closure
- Ticket Closure Criteria: A ticket is closed once the user’s issue is resolved and the user has acknowledged that the solution is satisfactory.
- User Confirmation: Before closure, the support team may ask the user to confirm that the issue has been resolved to their satisfaction. If the user does not respond within a certain period, the ticket may be automatically closed, or a follow-up reminder can be sent.
- Closing Notes: When closing the ticket, the support agent should include any relevant notes, such as troubleshooting steps or information that might be useful for future reference.
3. Reporting and Analytics
- Ticket Tracking: A dashboard will be used to track all open, pending, and closed tickets. This will give the management team visibility into the number of active support tickets, their status, and any trends related to common issues.
- Performance Metrics: Key performance indicators (KPIs) will be tracked to measure the efficiency of the ticket resolution process:
- Average Resolution Time: The average time it takes to resolve a ticket.
- Ticket Backlog: The number of unresolved tickets at any given time.
- Customer Satisfaction Score: A post-resolution survey can be sent to users to gather feedback on their satisfaction with the support process.
- Escalation Tracking: The number of tickets escalated to higher levels of support or management can be tracked to identify potential bottlenecks or areas requiring additional resources.
- Team Performance Reports: Reports showing how many tickets each team member has handled, the time it took to resolve them, and any feedback from users.
