Best practices for fulfilling service requests

  • Provide regular updates: Keep the requester informed about progress, especially for complex or time-consuming requests

  • Document your work: Add comments describing what you've done to fulfill the request

  • Ask for clarification early: If anything is unclear, ask questions as soon as possible to avoid delays

  • Update status promptly: Mark line items as complete as soon as they're finished

  • Include details when canceling: When you must cancel a line item, provide clear reasoning

Troubleshooting common issues

Requester is unresponsive

If you've asked a question but haven't received a response:

  1. Use the comment feature to follow up

  2. If urgent, consider reaching out through other channels (email, phone)

  3. Document your follow-up attempts in the ticket

Request lacks essential information

If a request is too vague or missing key details:

  1. Ask specific questions about what you need

  2. Provide examples of the information required

  3. If possible, offer options for the requester to choose from

Multiple teams need to coordinate

For complex requests requiring coordination:

  1. Clarify which team is responsible for which aspects

  2. Use comments to keep all parties informed

  3. Consider setting up a meeting for complex coordination

  4. Document agreements and action items in the ticket
