A support channel inside your application can provide a better support experience, but might not be useful to report that the application is not working. + +Always provide multiple support channels that work over widely available "open" communication protocols, such as email or the public switched telephone network (i.e. a phone number). SMS might be valid, although not everyone has a mobile phone. + +For non-interactive support channels, consider providing clear and accurate means to verify any request has been received. For example, email confirmations. + +## Ownership + +Support requests and channels must have clear ownership at all times. + +Clear ownership includes: + +* A clear linear chain of individual human owners ending in the ultimate responsible of the organization +* Aby non-human services in the chain are followed by the human responsibl for the service. +* All humans in the chain knows which requests and channels they own and which are owned by humans below them in the chain. +* All humans in the chain acknowledge their responsibility in the requests and services. + +## Service level objectives + +Support requests and channels should have clear service level objectives, such as "99% of support requests are solved automatically or receive a human response within 2 hours". + +Service level objectives measurements should be available at most times to as much people as possible, preferrably they should be completely public. + +The ultimate responsible of the organization is responsible for reviewing the service level objectives multiple times per year, although they can delegate the review. + +## Service status and incident information + +Services should provide an independent means of verifying the organization's known status of the service. For example, a public status page. + +Users should be able to consult any ongoing incidents (including known bugs) and a record of past incidents. Incidents should include a clear timeline of changes in their status. + +Any organization members responsible for the services must be able to consult all incidents related to their services. + +## Public complaints + +An individual human in the organization should be responsible for monitoring public complaints about the service outside the support channels. + +Public complaints about the service should be analyzed and measures should be taken to ensure that support channel problems are not causing the public complaints. diff --git a/blog/content/notes/software-i-use.gmi
