The handoff

A shared issue record and a severity-based notification for the team, with higher-severity reports highlighted for prompt attention.

Keep in mind

Severity is the reporter’s stated assessment, not a verified diagnosis. Have a person review urgent reports and confirm the response needed.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Prepare the issue form

Ask for the reporter’s name, email, issue description, and a clearly explained severity rating.

Create a shared issue tracker

Choose fields for the submitted details, severity, review status, owner, and follow-up.

Set severity and notification rules

Agree which reports should be highlighted and select the internal destinations for each category.

Test the complete intake

Submit example reports at each severity and confirm that each is recorded and reaches the intended internal team.
