IT Helpdesk
Triage and resolve internal IT requests, with a rework loop for anything that needs more from the person who asked.
Stages
The board's columns. A stage is a label; the workflow decides when a ticket moves.
The workflow, step by step
Every step is a node in the template. Automatic steps run on their own. The highlighted ones park the ticket until a person acts.
