You must select the 'New Feature Request’ option

You must provide the below information so you’re request can be dealt with correctly:

FIELD

DETAILS

Summary

This should be short and to the point. A very brief summary of the issue.

Description

This should be an in-depth description of what the change or addition to the system is. Details should include the system, the user type, the section of the system, how the system works now, what needs changed and how the system should work once the changes are complete. It is also helpful to explain why the change is required and the benefits.

E.g. screenshots of the screen(s) or section you are requesting to change showing what the changes are or where improvements need to be.

Reviewing Requests

It is the responsibility of the Head of Customer Success to review all requests that are created via the New Features portal and Accept or Decline them. All requests must be reviewed within the timescales set within the SLA’s.

If a request is approved the requirements gathering sessions will commence with the relevant parties.

Declining will close the ticket, and a reason must be provided to the requester as to why it’s been declined.

Understanding the Requirements

It is the responsibility of the BA to gather all requirements for the requests that have been raised and gain approval from the requestor that their request has been understood.

For all approved requests, the BA must liaise with the requestor to collate all of the information to create a scope. If the BA is waiting for information from the requestor, they must set the ticket status to ‘Awaiting Client Info’ to help with the accuracy of SLA’s.

It’s important that all discussions are recorded on the ticket that has been raised for auditing and quality reasons. If any discussions are had offline such as emails, teams messages or phone calls, it’s important that this a retrospectively recorded on the ticket details the key points.

Once the requirements have been gathered, the BA must then comment on the ticket with the scope of work/user stories that will be given to the development team so they can approve, decline or make any changes. The scope must be recorded on the the ticket so it is documented correctly along with any relating comments.

Once the scope has been agreed, the BA must raise development tickets using the approved scope/user stories and update the ticket.

Issuing Quotes

It is the responsibility of the Business Analyst to issue quotes out once the scope has been approved. The quote must include:

  • Requestor Name

  • Company Name

  • Project Name

  • Details of work

  • Duration

  • Costs

  • Quote Number

The ticket status must then updated and it is now up to the requester to approve or decline the quote. If a quote as been approved a method of payment must be provided by the requestor before proceeding.

Scheduling Approved Tickets

All tickets that are approved and have payment where required will be placed into a development queue.

The Head of Customer Success must then liaise with the Product Manager to see if the selected requests are able to fit in the upcoming release, providing them with the ticket details and the total estimated days.

Once the Product Manager has agreed which tickets can go in the upcoming release, the Head of Customer Success must then update the following:

  • Update the requestor with outcome of the meeting and advise of release date

  • The ‘Due Date’ for the selected tickets to show the release date they will be Live

  • Update the announcements in the portal to list all tickets that have been selected for the next release

User Acceptance Testing

Once tickets are in development and are within the UAT system, the client will be advised of the changes made and will be shown the updates in the system for review. Any feedback, based on the original scope, will be given to the development team, where we can capture any changes (where necessary) and correct before go live.

Completed Requests

Once a ticket has been complete, the ticket status will be set to ‘Client Sign Off'.

If the client is happy with the changes implemented, the ticket status can be set to ‘Done’. The ticket is now closed and any additional changes must be raised on a new ticket.

Definition of Ticket Status'

When you’ve raised a ticket, you will notice that there is status assigned to it. The status will show what stage of the process the ticket is at.
