# How Do I Track How Long Tickets Take to Resolve?

You track ticket resolution time by using a system that logs time per stage automatically, rather than manually recording start and end timestamps. On **Jestor**, this is native **SLA** tracking, applied directly on ticket cards.

Support teams often know tickets are slow without knowing exactly where, SLA tracking turns that vague impression into a specific, stage-by-stage number that actually points to a fix.

## What makes resolution time hard to measure manually

- No consistent timestamp logging across different ticket types
- Different teams tracking, or not tracking, response time inconsistently
- Data living in email threads, not a structured, searchable form
- No baseline to compare "before" and "after" a process change

## How automatic resolution tracking works

- **SLA** tracking logs the time spent in every stage of every ticket, by default
- Average time per stage can be calculated across any time period or ticket type
- Comparing averages before and after a process change shows real impact
- Outliers, tickets that took far longer than average, are easy to isolate

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- SLA data is captured automatically, with no manual time logging required
- Averages and outliers can feed dashboards without a separate report
- Comparisons across teams, ticket types, or time periods are straightforward
- Gives management concrete numbers instead of anecdotal impressions
