Not every ticket has the same business impact. Clear priorities help users and support staff agree what needs attention first.

The decision to make

Assess impact and urgency rather than relying only on emotional wording. Define examples and escalation responsibility.

Practical checklist

  • Distinguish a single-user issue from a shared outage.
  • Record business-critical deadlines.
  • Agree response arrangements for each priority.

An illustrative example

A minor display issue affecting one device differs from a system failure preventing an entire team from working.

Your next step

Include priority examples in the support agreement and review them as the business changes.
