Ticket Lifecycle Stages

The lifecycle of an IT support ticket typically includes the following stages:

    1. Submission: The user reports an issue or request, creating a ticket in the IT support system.
    1. Categorization: The ticket is categorized and prioritized based on the issue's nature and urgency.
    1. Assignment: The ticket is assigned to an appropriate support technician or team.
    1. Diagnosis: The technician investigates and diagnoses the problem.
    1. Resolution: A solution or fix is applied to resolve the issue.
    1. Verification: The user verifies that the issue is resolved and confirms satisfaction.
    1. Closure: The ticket is closed in the system once resolved and confirmed.

Throughout this process, communication between the user and support team is maintained to provide updates and gather additional information if needed.
