What are Issues?
Issues are the problems, obstacles, ideas, or opportunities to discuss and solve as a team. Fully resolving an Issue could include creating a To-Do for a team member, setting up a meeting, or deciding no more discussion or additional action is necessary.
For example, you could create an Issue to introduce a new team member. No further action is required and once they have been introduced, the issue is resolved.
Learn how to get started with Issues from the video below.
How Issues Support Your Company
Issues support your organization by empowering users to bring their ideas or obstacles to their team, Issues can also ensure Rocks stay on track while building a high-trust environment.
We solve Issues with a process is called Raise, Discuss, Resolve. It means that team members raise Issues to discuss with the team and find resolution.
To set the framework for the RDR process, let’s first identify the four main types of Issues:
- A team member wants to share information with the team.
- An Issue needs to be resolved. The Issue’s owner has a recommended solution and wants to make sure they're not missing anything.
- A team member needs the team’s help to deal with a difficulty.
- A team member has an Issue to share with another team member and wants the team’s help in finding a solution.
