Rev. 1.0 4
One Place to…
• Keep track of non-project related work• For work orders
– One place to enter information– Assign– Record updates– Keep track of status– Document resolution (and close)
• Monitor/balance workloads• Report on the work
Rev. 1.0 5
Terms and DefinitionsTerm Definition
Work order The start-to-finish record of non-project related work… a/k/a “ticket”.
Solver group The group assigned a work order for resolution (e.g. IT Helpdesk; Server Group; Production Support).
Assigned technician Either the solver group (a distribution list) or individual (work order owner) that a work order has been assigned to for resolution.
Work order owner The individual within a solver group who has responsibility for managing the resolution, documentation and closing of the work order.
Queue manager The individual(s) in a solver group that monitors Track-It! for work orders assigned to their group. They will assign the work order to an individual (owner) in the group to resolve.
Rev. 1.0 6
Who Can Create a Work Order?
• Anyone who has write access to Track-It!– Any solver group member– Any internal MassDOT user… via email to
Dotservicedesk
Rev. 1.0 7
Things to Know Before We Get Started…
• IMPORTANT! When adding or changing information you must do a <save> before exiting the input window
• When a work order is… – Created, an email notification is automatically sent to the
Requestor and the Assigned Technician– Re-assigned, the new Assigned Technician will automatically
receive an email notification– Closed, an email is automatically sent to the Requestor
• When an Assigned Technician (an individual) becomes the work order owner and begins work on a work order, they must change the Status = Acknowledged
• Required Track-It! fields are denoted by an *

Work Order: Header Section
Field Description
Requestor Name of the individual making the work order request (reporting problem)
Call Back Number
Number at which requestor can be reached by phone
Summary A description of the issue or what the requestor wants
Priority Select P1-P5, as appropriate Important: see Setting the Priority for the descriptions

P5LOW
needs to be resolved but has no immediate time constraint.
Rev. 1.0 13
Setting the StatusStatus Description
Open assigned technician = a solver group distribution list
Acknowledged assigned technician = an individual member of a solver group (work order owner) starts work on a work order
Closed work order has been resolved
Closed –Project Request
work order is closed because the request is project-oriented work
Pending when the work order reaches a state where resolution is dependent upon an event outside of the control of the work order owner (e.g. purchase approval, funding…)
Rev. 1.0 14
Work Order: Classification and Ownership Section
Field Description
Type Select: It Services
Sub-Type Select a Sub-Type that fits the work order Type
Category Select a Category that fits the work order Sub-Type

Assigned Group Select the MassDOT IT “solver” group that will be responsible for resolution.

Work Order: Notes/Resolution Section
Field Description To Complete
Notes Tab Notes: Enter an explanatory note and/or attachment that explains the details of what the work order is about and the steps taken to resolve
Click on:
Resolution Tab Resolution: Enter an explanation of how the work order was resolved
Click on:
Rev. 1.0 16
Normal Process Flow
• A MassDOT user opens a work order with the Help Desk via:– Email– Phone
• Help Desk – Verifies/completes all required information– Sets Status = Open– Performs first level triage to try and close the work order– If work order can not be closed, changes the Assigned Technician
= solver group that can resolve the work order
Rev. 1.0 17
Normal Process Flow (cont.)
• Solver group– Queue manager assigns it to an individual work
order owner for resolution… Assigned Technician = individual assigned the task of resolving the work order
– When the work order owner assumes responsibility for the work order and begins work on it, they change Status = Acknowledged
Rev. 1.0 18
Work Order Owner Responsibilities
• If necessary, corrects any information already on the work order to include: Summary; Priority; Category; Notes; etc.
• Documents the steps taken to resolve the work order and any necessary detail information on the Notes tab
• Documents the work order resolution on the Resolution tab
• When resolved, changes the Status = Closed … this needs to be done promptly!

Exceptions to Flow
1. Any solver group member can open a work order
2. Re-assigning a work order from one solver group to another
3. P1/P2 work order processing
Rev. 1.0 21
1. Solver Group Creates a Work Order
Example: The Network group notices a network outage at a facility…
• The Network person who found the outage creates a work order
• Sets Assigned Technician = name of individual assigned to own/resolve the work order (work order owner)
• When the work order owner begins work on the work order, they change Status = Acknowledged
• The work order owner resolves (Resolution tab) and fully documents (Notes tab) the work order before changing Status = Closed

Rev. 1.0 23
2. Work Order Reassignment Between Solver Groups
Example: The Help Desk opens a work order and it’s assigned to the Network solver group. The Network group re-assigns the work order to the Application solver group.
• Help Desk opens work order– Sets Status = Open– Sets Assigned Technician = Network solver group distribution list
• Network solver group– Network solver group queue manager changes Assigned Technician = Eric– Eric reviews work order and changes Status = Acknowledged when he begins work on it– Upon further triage, Eric determines that the work order really belongs to the Application
solver group– Eric updates the Notes tab with the reason for reassignment– Eric changes Status = Open– Eric changes Assigned Technician = Application solver group distribution list
• Application solver group– Application group queue manager changes assigned technician = Dave– Dave reviews work order and changes Status = Acknowledged when he begins work on it– Dave resolves (Resolution tab) and fully documents (Notes tab) the work order before
changing status = Closed

3. P1/P2 Work Order Rules!!!
• When creating a work order, the person creating the work order will send a copy of the saved work order to: DOT-DL – IT-OUTAGE and business contacts
• Upon assignment of a work order to a solver group: the person making the assignment will immediately contact the manager of the solver group
• Upon assignment of a work order to an individual within a solver group: the person making the assignment will immediately contact the individual (work order owner)
• Upon re-assigning a work order between solver groups: the person making the re-assignment will immediately contact the manager of the receiving solver group… the work order Notes tab should be updated with the reason for reassignment
• The work order owner is required to provide documented (Notes tab) work order updates every hour until resolved (updated Resolution tab) and to close the work order promptly upon resolution
• Upon closing a work order, the work order owner will send a copy of the work order to: DOT-DL – IT-OUTAGE and business contacts
• The Help Desk will be the point of contact for all P1/P2 user/management questions

P1/P2 Contact Methods
• Primary options (use both)– Email– Phone call
• Secondary options– Face-to-face– Text message
• All work order assignment to individuals will be acknowledged by the work order owner (set Status = Acknowledged)
Rev. 1.0 30
Some Challenges
• Solver queue management… How will your solver group do it?
• Work order classification and documentation discipline
• Intergroup communication… contact and response required… no email assumption on P1/P2’s
• Problem resolution and follow-up… fixing problems, not symptoms
Rev. 1.0 31
On-line Examples
• Examples
• Customization– Start window– Grid
