Create consistent issues with templates

Asking for the same essential information improves recurring work. A template is a starting point that prevents important context from being forgotten.

How to apply it

Prepare supported Taskending issue templates for frequently repeated work types. Ask for environment and reproduction steps in bugs, user needs and acceptance criteria in features, and execution and rollback notes in operations. Keep the template short enough to be used.

A concrete example

A bug template can contain What happened, What was expected, Steps to reproduce and Environment. The author replaces example text with real information. Marking an unknown field as unknown is better than making an unsupported assumption.

What to watch for

A template is not the same as a mandatory validation engine. The team still needs to review empty or meaningless responses. Avoid templates that request passwords, unnecessary personal data or complete sensitive log files.

How to check the outcome

After a month, read five issues created from the template. Simplify fields that remain empty and add information that teammates repeatedly have to request in comments.
