Investigate Complaint Facts and Impact before Defining Corrective Work

Establish complaint facts and impact before defining corrective work. Wording alone does not establish calm or increased trust.

Check purchase or use records, requested handling, and ownership of intake, investigation, and decisions.

Distinguish Events from Requested Handling

Record when the problem occurred, what was used, and the relevant operation. Distinguish reported experience from confirmed records.

Atlassian’s role review examines responsibility gaps and overlaps. (Atlassian: Roles and responsibilities) Assign investigation and decisions to appropriately authorized owners.

Investigate Impact and Possible Corrections

Investigate blocked work and added time or cost. Keep established facts separate from unresolved causes.

Record Ownership and Decision Timing

Document recovery tasks, required approval, and when results will next be reviewed.

Review Procedures and Information behind Repeat Problems

Check corrective results and repeated problems. Review delivery alongside information when the actual service differs from descriptions.
