Janet Smith got married last week and just got back to the office from her honeymoon in Paris. She’s changed her last name to after her husband’s name and now she is called Janet Michaels.
She wants also to update her name in the company’s Elementool accounts.
Over the years she has submitted over 200 issues and now she needs to update each one of them.
She calculated that it takes about 30 seconds to open and update each issue. So she figured that it will take her almost two hours to update all her issues.
That’s a lot of work.
Instead of doing that, she decided to use the Mass Update feature.
Mass Update enables Janet to update her issues with her new name in a single update that takes less than a minute.
What a time saver!
Jane works out from the company office in New York as a software developer and Bob is a testing engineer located at the company office in London.
Today at 8.25am New York time Bob reported a bug in the software to Jane. She couldn’t reproduce the bug on her end so she emailed Bob for more information.
A couple of hours later at 10:34am Bob came back from lunch and answered Jane emails.
When Jane got back to her desk after a meeting three hours later at 1:57pm, she read Bob’s email, but still had questions, so she sent another email to Bob asking for screenshots.
But Bob has already finished his work day in London and was already at the near by pub drinking beer with his mates and replied to Jane’s requested only on the morning of the next day.
5 hours later the next day, 9:11am, Jane got in the office and saw the screenshots. She had a few more questions to Bob by email.
10:15am, An hour later, Bob replied back. Jane was able to finally figure out the cause of the bug and fix it, 26 hours after it was submitted.
Now let’s look at Rachel and Mike,
Same situation, Rachel is a developer that works at the company’s office in New York and Mike is a testing engineer that works at the company’s office in London.
They both use Elementool Conference to discuss project related issues.
Today, at 8:25am New York time Mike reported a bug to Rachel.
When Rachel came to the office in the Morning she scheduled a web conference with Mike at 10:45am using Elementool Conference, so Mike could show here exactly how to reproduce the bug.
