Jira Service Management is a powerful tool, but it’s not without its challenges. Many users are frustrated by certain limitations that can impact efficiency, communication, and overall incident resolution. Here are three common pain points that many Jira Service Management users encounter:
Agents see more data than customers on the portal
When customers don’t have access to the same level of detail, they might not fully grasp the complexity of an issue, leading to repetitive queries and frustration on both sides.
Lack of self-service: endless requests and questions
This can create a feedback loop where agents are inundated with questions and comments, making it difficult to focus on resolving the incident itself.
Agents with clutter queues due to duplicate tickets during ongoing incidents
During a global or major incident, it’s common for multiple customers to report the same issue, leading to a flood of duplicate tickets. This clutters the agents’ queues and makes prioritizing and addressing the most critical tasks harder.
Who agrees?
As we know, it can be frustrating, time-consuming, and cost generated when a global incident occurs.
1️⃣ Enhance the self-service capabilities of your Jira Service Management portal is crucial - change the request details view to one source of truth. How? Look at point 2 👇
2️⃣ You can share the same data you already have in Jira with your customers to help them understand incident complexity. Share linked issues, assignees, and f.e. blockers with statuses.
3️⃣ Moreover, automating your Jira Service Desk to display the information your agents and customers need can significantly offload your team. You can do it with the refreshed and upgraded additional fields feature from the Feature Bundle app.
By displaying additional fields that provide more context— such as linked issues, duplicates, and blockers - you can help customers understand incident complexity. This reduces the need for back-and-forth communication and prevents the submission of redundant tickets.
Who agrees that these enhancements could make a big difference? 🙌
Addressing these common frustrations can save time, reduce costs, and ultimately deliver a better service experience during critical incidents. 💡
