Summary

Our support ticketing system includes a Severity field in the internal ticket form to streamline ticket prioritization. Severity is determined by the definitions below. When you submit a request, please identify the business impact of your issue by selecting the appropriate priority: low, normal, high, or urgent.

Severity Definitions: 

Severity Definition
1 (Critical) Jama Connect® is either inaccessible or experiencing a significant reduction in accessibility in a production environment.
2 A significant feature, function, or integration is experiencing a significant reduction in a production environment.
3 Problems with Jama Connect® in a non-production environment.
General use questions and non-critical issues in a production environment.

Based on the severity of the issue assessed and your organization's purchased support program (SLA Tier), we aim to achieve the following service-level objectives for our response times, listed in hours.

SLA Tier Sev 1 Sev 2 Sev 3
Premium 1 hr 2 hr 8 hr
Enterprise 24 hr 48 hr 72 hr
Legacy 48 hr 72 hr 96 hr

    • Customers can reopen a solved request within seven (7) days if it relates to the original issue or question.

You can find the ticket status in the "Status" column.

Ticket Priority

When submitting requests through the Jama Software® Support Portal, customers identify the priority, which the business impact should determine. You have the following options to choose from when submitting your request.

Customer-selected Priority Definitions
Low Minor issue with little or no business impact.
Normal The issue has a moderate business impact but does not affect essential functions.
High Significant business impact, affecting productivity or project deadlines.
Urgent Immediate business impact that needs to be resolved to prevent further risks or delays in a production deployment.
