Quick answer

If Resolution time fails, try another file/format, unlock the file, reduce batch size, then update the tool/browser. Resolution time should exclude customer wait and non-working hours.

Why it matters

Most failures are input/lock/resource issues, not the tool itself.

Define the clock: 24/7 or business hours.

Step by step

  1. Define QA goals and observable behaviors before building a giant scorecard.
  2. Stratify samples by shift, channel and risk so they represent real problems.
  3. Calibrate scoring boundaries before ranking or performance decisions.
  4. Attribute issues to knowledge, process, system or people before choosing fixes.

Common mistakes

  • Scoring without calibration makes managers incomparable.
  • Sampling only easy tickets biases the result.
  • Using QA as punishment makes agents hide context.
  • Looking only at CSAT while ignoring resolution and rework.

Checklist

  • Scorecard has behavioral anchors.
  • Sampling has stratification rules.
  • Calibration records disputed samples.
  • Issues have owners and review dates.

Key facts

  • Define the clock: 24/7 or business hours.
  • Segment by issue type, not just a global average.
  • Long-tail tickets skew averages; use median and P90.
