Hi all. My first post. I'm new with Service Desk Plus (Cloud). I've been an IT Management Professional for decades. (Yes, I'm an Elder Geek!)
Just started a new job. Trying to define and implement a basic HelpDesk SLA. The SDP (Cloud) configuration that they have here is basically unconfigured. There is no organizational agreement for Helpdesk. I'm proposing a basic SLA for Helpdesk (Service Desk) soon. Writing it up now.
I'm trying to figure out how I can get three basic measures from SDP (Cloud):
- Response Time - That is, when the technician FIRST begins to attend to an issue. My draft SLA is looking at attending to issues within (1) hour during normal business hours.
- Resolution Time - That is, the time between initial request and full resolution (Closure/Complete).
- First Call/Contact Resolution % - That is, the % of requests that get satisfied upon initial effort by the Help Desk Technician.
Pretty basic, I know. I'm just so new to SDP (CLOUD) that I don't even know where to look.
I also need to learn how to hopefully define the SLA within the tool itself. Just started reading the User Guide online. I've got a lot to figure out just yet.
But before I dig in too far, I want to make sure SDP (CLOUD) can give me what we need to start managing a fundamental, but defined SLA with the rudimentary metrics noted above. I don't want to make a commitment organizationally for an SLA without making sure I can manage and report on these basic key metrics using SDP (CLOUD).
Thanks in advance. Sorry for such a rudimentary question. But I can't seem to find info on how to configure reporting / dashboards for these basic KPIs. ;)
