5 Prioritisation & Communication Process
Tickets raised will be triaged for prioritisation. The prioritisation options in order are critical, high, medium, low and project. Tickets prioritised as critical have absolute priority in each area. In general terms work does not commence on a ticket if there is any work to be done on tickets which have a higher priority, unless the ticket is waiting on action from an external team. Once the issue is resolved, the user is contacted and the ticket status is updated via the CASD tool. The ticket can either be ‘closed’ or updated to ‘monitor’ status. Any ticket in ‘monitor’ status must be reviewed within a period of two weeks with the intention of closing the ticket. The customer is to be contacted through the tool and informed that the ticket will be closed. If there are further issues arising, a new ticket can be raised.
5.1 Summary Table
The service targets described in the following table relate to the Finance Support service and are managed through the standard priority targets integrated within the CA Service Desk ticket management tool.
This section is for tickets that are logged through the IT Service Centre, Finance Helpdesk and FBS that relate to Finance Systems issues
TICKET PRIORITY DESCRIPTION
Critical Customer must be updated on progress every 4 hours until resolved
High Customer must be updated on progress every day until resolved
Medium Customer must be updated on progress every week until resolved
Low Customer must be updated on progress fortnightly/monthly until resolved
Project
Target date should be decided and communicated to customer. Customer should then be communicated with by the target date until resolved. If not resolved within the target date the target date should be extended and the customer informed, after which the process starts again until resolved
5.2 Priority Matrix
Priority assessment is a function of a number of considerations, namely: 1. Transactional (areas/departments cannot process transactions) 2. Number of Users affected 3. Impact (# processes/modules affected) 4. Timing i.e. when will impact manifest e.g. EOM, EOY, Audit 5. Is there a workaround? 6. How long has the issue been outstanding? 7. Effort/Resources to resolve
How to ascertain priority using the Priority Matrix
Page 14 Service Definition Financials 2016
CASD Ticket Reporting - Priority Matrix v2.xlsx
Incident Request
Criteria It was working before but no longer does I would like something new
Impact Low 1 person Low 1
Medium 10-25 Medium 25+
High 100+ High* 250+
Critical Department or Organisation Critical * Organisation *Requests should ideally be classified as Low/Medium impact.
5.3 Prioritisation examples:
Priority Description
Critical A disruption to a critical core business function with a real and immediate
impact with no workaround e.g. high volume or high value incidences
preventing month end and year end rollovers, invoicing, generation of PO’s and
payments to suppliers, system wide access issues.
High Priority A disruption to a non-critical core business function with no workaround e.g. high value or high volume incidences preventing cash receipting, generation of PR’s, receipting of goods and services, journal processing.
Medium Priority Critical issue with workaround or disruption to a non-core business function. If workaround is valid for short term only this item may need to be re categorised into the critical category prior to resolution.
Low Priority High priority issue with workaround or disruption to a non-core business function with workaround. If workaround is valid for short term only this item may need to be re categorised into the high priority category prior to resolution. These incidences are typically low value or low volume such as one-off or exception events.
Project Ticket This is for tickets which are not impacting on existing business functions or which form part of a larger piece of work which may include non-systems work, or have been identified (escalated by Jira work request or EMR) to ITES support.
5.4 Escalation Process
Any UNSW employee can raise an incident or request directly with the Finance Helpdesk or IT Service Centre by email or phone call. First level support (AP/AR/FHD) must escalate incident to the Finance Helpdesk Manager for evaluation prior to escalate to FBS if related to NSF systems. If a resolution can’t be found in the first instance, the SSA’s will provide advice. If the issue is still not resolved, then a Jira work request (Tool whereby FBS interacts with IT) will need to be raised by the FBS Support team.
Page 15 Service Definition Financials 2016
5.5 Communication
Liaise with CASD team (where necessary) to arrange communications for issue related to high/critical incidents to be communicated via IT Service Management Office . Email content to be provided in collaboration with FBS.
