Ticket templates

Problem-solution-impact ticket template

For bugs, performance issues and improvements, the most useful ticket explains why it matters: what is wrong today, what you propose to change and what gets better. It makes prioritizing easy, because the impact is right there.

The template

**Title**:
[Tag] Describe the problem briefly

### Problem

### Solution

### Impact

Example: from rough idea to ticket

What you type into KanBandit, and the ticket it turns into with this template.

Your input

search on the ticket list is really slow for big projects, takes like 5 seconds

Generated ticket

[Performance] Ticket search takes ~5 seconds in large projects

Problem

In projects with more than 10,000 tickets, every search on the ticket list takes around 5 seconds. The query scans all tickets on each keystroke, and users wait or give up.

Solution

Add a full-text index on ticket title and description, debounce search input by 300 ms and paginate results to 50 per page.

Impact

Search results under 300 ms for large projects, far less database load during peak hours, and the most-used screen no longer feels broken.

Tips for better problem-solution-impact tickets

  1. 01Measure the problem

    "About 5 seconds for projects over 10,000 tickets" gives the team a baseline and a way to prove the fix worked.

  2. 02Keep the solution open

    Propose a direction, but leave room for the team to find a better one. The problem and impact are the parts that must not change.

  3. 03State the impact in user terms

    Faster, fewer support tickets, less churn: impact is what product and business people read to decide priority.

  4. 04One problem per ticket

    Two problems with one fix still deserve two problem statements. Otherwise one of them quietly gets lost.
