Triage a Monday Morning Inbox

Prioritise 10 support tickets from an e-commerce backlog.

The Scenario

You are a junior support agent at a South African online retailer (similar to Takealot). It is Monday morning after a busy Black Friday weekend. You have a backlog of 1,000 tickets. Your team lead gives you a sample of 10 tickets and asks you to triage them.

The Brief

Review the 10 tickets. Categorise each by issue type (e.g., Delivery, Payment, Return) and assign a priority (Low, Medium, High, Urgent). Write a 1-sentence rationale for each priority assignment.

Deliverables

  • A triage log for 10 simulated tickets (provided in the prompt context) showing Category, Priority, and Rationale
  • Identification of the 2 tickets that require immediate escalation to a manager
  • A brief explanation of your overall triage strategy

Submission Guidance

Urgent means business impact or severe customer distress (e.g., a payment went through 3 times). A late delivery is frustrating, but usually Medium or High, not Urgent. Note: Invent 10 realistic ticket scenarios to triage.
