Why Ticketing Is Critical for Remote Teams

Remote IT teams depend on ticketing systems to maintain visibility, accountability, and async communication. Without centralized ticketing, distributed teams lose context and coordination becomes nearly impossible.

Challenges for Remote Teams Without Ticketing

• Messages disappear in Slack or Teams channels
• No clear ownership or accountability
• Duplicate work due to lack of context
• Impossible to track SLAs or performance
• New team members have no onboarding clarity

How Ticketing Solves Remote Team Problems

• Centralized request intake from multiple channels
• Clear assignment and ownership
• Permanent history of all work
• Asynchronous communication with full context
• Performance metrics across distributed teams

Best Practices for Remote Ticketing

• Integrate chat tools (Slack, Teams) with ticketing
• Require all requests go through the ticketing system
• Set clear update expectations (daily, weekly)
• Use video updates for complex escalations

Industry Insight
