JIRA Service Desk is Atlassian’s newest JIRA addition, providing the perfect environment that fuses JIRA’s issue reporting, managing and tracking with a customer portal, to ensure both customer and developer are completely clear on support.

For support teams JIRA Service Desk provides a fitting solution which integrates other Atlassian software, including JIRA Agile, JIRA Capture and Bamboo. But how does Service Desk perform its primary task of enabling great customer service?

JIRA Service Desk

1.       Intuitive UI for Customers

When it comes to customer service first impressions count. JIRA Service Desk’s sleek user interface is the first port-of-call for customers and ensures customers can access exactly what they need. The simple instructions and intuitive design, combined with natural language ensures users aren’t confused by jargon or unsure about the submission process.

2.       Powerful SLA

You get real-time Service Level Agreement information during the entire support period. With Service Desk’s Team queues tasks are prioritised depending on the SLAs. Each task in the queue shows real-time information about the period remaining to assign, first response and to the resolution. Highly visible for your team, SLA targets are expressly clear making it far easier to adhere to them.

3.       Quick Assigning

Using the powerful functionality of JIRA, assigning support tickets to the right team member is a quick and easy task. When a ticket comes in, you’re already given a high level of information about what the issue is, what type of support is needed and therefore who is best to undertake the work. Hence, Service Desk allows seamless integration of the customer and the support team.

4.       Best Practises

By giving the customers clear instructions when asking for help, such as the type of support they require and why they require it, the management of these requirements becomes defined. Your teams are then able to assign themselves these tickets dependent on the severity, type and SLA. This establishes a defined and consistent support process.

5.       Reports to improve your service

Service Desk’s real-time performance reports give detectable development information about your team’s work, highlighting trends in your service output. With this information you’re able to assess areas for improvements and act upon them, refining your customer service.

These reasons all explain why JIRA Service Desk easily enables your support teams to provide great customer service and in turn how it will boost the productivity of your teams. Customers see clear information and instruction, they’re spoken to in natural language, their support ticket gets assigned quickly and SLAs are always met.
