Ticket System
• Good overall feedback• Frequent misuses
– Still tickets Most tickets should not be inactive for more than a few days Constant updates should be provided
– The “Unhandled” → “Assigned” transition Often forgotten
– The <Whatever> → “Closed” transition Sometimes forgotten
– Unaware email discussion The ticket system uses tricky headers
