Support Tracker is a Jira plugin designed to help organizations monitor and manage their support or maintenance utilization effectively. By integrating seamlessly with Jira, it enables users to track support usage, validate workflow transitions based on support consumption, and receive notifications when predefined support limits are exceeded. This tool is particularly beneficial for managing customer support agreements, internal team efforts, or any scenario requiring the tracking of credit unit utilization. Key Features and Functionality: - Project Grouping: Allows grouping of multiple Jira projects to share a common utilization bucket, facilitating consolidated tracking across related projects. - Flexible Reporting: Enables users to define various Jira number fields as credit units and date fields to specify maintenance or support periods, generating tailored reports based on these parameters. - Workflow Validation: Incorporates validation checks within workflows to prevent transitions if sufficient support credits are unavailable, ensuring adherence to support agreements. - Notification System: Sends notifications as Jira issue comments when support utilization surpasses user-defined limits, with the ability to configure who receives these alerts through Jira's notification schemes. Primary Value and User Benefits: Support Tracker addresses the challenge of monitoring and controlling support resource consumption within Jira. By providing real-time insights into support usage, it empowers organizations to manage customer support agreements effectively, optimize internal team efforts, and prevent overutilization of support resources.
