As your team grows, assignment rules will allow you to make sure that issues are being handled by the right person.
Individual assignment rules can be setup using Triggers using the "Set issue assignee" action.
First create teams that model groups of people. Then creating assignment strategies for these teams
Set up assignment strategies to automatically assign issues to individual members of a team. When an issue is assigned to a team, the individual owner of the issue can be determined by the team's assignment policy.
Rotate between each team member equally when assigning issues.
Set up a daily or weekly repeating schedule. Based on the time of day, issues that are assigned to a team will fall onto the appropriately individual’s plate.
Put these team assignment policies into affect by creating a Trigger that automatically assigns issues to a certain team.
You can setup any number of workflows to make sure issues get to the right people:
Routing high priority issues straight to Tier 3
Routing bugs about a specific topic to the subject matter expert for that product area
Reassigning issues that have had their SLA breached
Routing pre-sales issues from important accounts to your sales engineering team
Routing issues from named accounts to their CSM
By creating subteams, you can effectively model complex assignment workflows, since each subteam can have its own assignment policy. If subteams are a part of a team assignment schedule, they will need an assignment policy set at the subteam level to work properly.
