Some possible use case for the Support Tracker are:

...

  • Your project kickoff on 18 April 2016 and sign off on 3 June 2016, and all your project related issues are tracked in one JIRA project called "Web Design for Company A" (WDCA)
  • For the project, you are supposed to deliver an estimated 100 designs to your customer for their Website revamp
  • Within the JIRA project WDCA, some of the issues will record the number of webpages/design collaterals delivered to your customer in the Number field called "Deliverables" and the Date field called "Date Delivered" when your team transit the issue to "Send to Customer" status
  • You only wish to track the total number of Deliverables not rejected by the customer; if the customer rejects the design, the issue will transit to "Rejected" status with the issue's resolution set to "Rejected"
  • You hope to get notified when the number of deliverables hits 90% of the estimated deliverables so that you can feedback to your customer for extension to your project timeline
  • You also wish to get notified and stop your project team from continuing if the number of deliverables exceeds the estimated 100 designs
