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
