How To: Submit a properly detailed request

Information you’ll need to provide

Here is a list of important information your request will need:

1. Request Type - This helps to channel your request to the correct Team for resolution.

2. Subject - Write a clear and concise Summary: Imagine you’re the one reading the summary. Is it concise, clear, and understandable with no other context?

   • Good: “Error Deploying Six Flags Audiences to Liveramp” - Bad: “alli error”

   • Good: “Alli & BQ Access for new Analyst, client(s) name(s)” - Bad: “access needed”

3. Detailed Description - The following questions will help you come up with a detailed description.

   • What are you trying to accomplish?

   • What was your expected outcome?

   • What was your actual outcome?

   • What have you tried (if you’ve tried anything)?

   • What happened when you tried those things?

4. Priority - You will need to choose a priority, in order to bring the proper attention to your request. There are priorities for internal Engineering use, so the priorities you’ll focus on are those marked P1 - P4. Priority here does not mean urgency. It means, “what is the impact to PMG, the client, your own workflow”. Included is a list to help you decide which to classify.

   1. P1 - Major System Disruption
      * Outage for all users
      * Operations can’t continue
      * No acceptable workaround

   2. P2 - Severe System Disruption
      * Outage for substantial amount of users
      * Serious disruption to operations
      * No acceptable workaround

   3. P3 - Single Function Failure
      * Outage for some users
      * Single business process impaired
      * Workaround available but not sustainable.

   4. P4 - Minor issue, request, question
      * Issue can be addressed with manageable workaround
