Avoid SLA Breaches: Master IT Ticket Triage with These 3 Key Elements


🔧 IT Support: Don’t miss your SLAs because of poor ticket triage
A good technician doesn’t just solve problems — they know how to prioritize, communicate, and prevent.
🎯 Here’s a practical tip I apply every day:
✅ As soon as a ticket is created, identify these 3 key elements:
📌 Impact: How many users are affected?
📌 Urgency: Is the service down or just degraded?
📌 Category: Is it an incident, a request, or a change?
By combining these, you can automatically assign the correct priority (P1, P2, P3).
💥 The result:
Fewer SLA breaches
Fewer unnecessary escalations
Clearer backlog visibility
➕ Bonus: consistently documenting recurring solutions helps reduce handling time in the long run.
👉 IT support isn’t just technical — it’s also about process, discipline, and strong service mindset.
