Issue and Bug Tracking: The Pronnel Workflow

Issue and Bug Tracking is the systematic process of identifying, documenting, prioritizing, assigning, and resolving defects in a product.
Pronnel Teams centralizes this process by treating bugs as a specific type of ticket within a unified platform, integrating them directly into the Agile workflow.

How Does It Work?

Custom bug workflows on boards.

Customizable Workflows and Boards

Define specific flows for bug tickets (e.g., New → Triaged → In Progress → Ready for QA → Closed), ensuring tickets cannot skip critical steps and ownership is clear at each stage.

Manage dependencies between tickets.

Dependency Management

Link tickets as "Blocked by" or "Blocking" others so teams can manage bug fixes that rely on other work and prevent deploying Stories with unresolved Issues.

Bugs integrated with sprints and priorities.

Sprint Integration and Prioritization

Manage bug tickets alongside feature Stories within Sprints so Team Leads can allocate capacity, run bug-fix sprints, and ensure critical Issues are addressed first.

Who Does This Help?

QA (Quality Assurance) Teams

Log detailed bug reports with context, attachments, and reproduction steps while tracking issues through verification and closure.

Developers

Work with clear, prioritized bug tickets, view dependencies, and track progress using activity logs and linked updates.

Team Leads & Managers

Monitor issue flow, identify blockers, and prioritize critical bugs using real-time dashboards and dependency views.

What All Does It Do?

QA creating a detailed bug ticket with attachments.

Create Bug Tickets with All the Details

QA can log bugs with screenshots, steps to reproduce, and environment info so developers have everything they need.

How it works?

Use Task Attachments to add screenshots and files. Use Custom Attributes to capture severity, environment, and other details that matter for your team.

Advantages

Complete Info
Developers get all the context they need without asking questions.
Untitled-1
Faster Fixes
Less back-and-forth means bugs get fixed quicker.

Set Up Workflows That Control Who Can Do What

Make sure only the right people can move tickets through each step—like QA can't close a ticket until it's verified.

How it works?

Use Workflow Builder to create rules. For example, a ticket can't go from "In Progress" to "Closed" without going through "Ready for QA" first. Use Access Control to set who can move tickets at each stage.

Advantages

Untitled-1
Quality Control
Prevent tickets from being closed before they're properly tested.

Clear Process
Everyone knows the steps and who's responsible for each one.
Workflow controlling ticket movement by role.
Bug tickets linked to Stories and Epics.

Link Bugs to Stories and Epics

Connect bug tickets to the Story or Epic they relate to so you can see how bugs affect your roadmap.

How it works?

When creating or editing a bug ticket, link it to the related Story or Epic. This shows up on boards, roadmaps, and dashboards so you see the full picture.

Advantages

See the Big Picture
Understand how bugs impact features and delivery dates.
Untitled-1
Better Planning
Know which features have the most bugs and need more attention.

Track Dependencies Between Tickets

Mark when one bug blocks another or when a bug blocks a feature from being released.

How it works?

Use Pronnel's dependency features to link tickets as "Blocked by" or "Blocking". View these in Gantt charts and Multiple Views to see what needs to be fixed first.

Advantages

Avoid Blockers
See which bugs are blocking other work and fix them first.

See Bug Status on Boards and Dashboards

View all your bugs on Kanban boards, see progress in dashboards, and track how fast bugs are getting fixed.

How it works?

Use Multiple Views to see bugs on Kanban boards. Use Agile Dashboards to see metrics like how many bugs are open, average time to fix, and which components have the most issues.

Advantages

Untitled-1
Visual Tracking
See at a glance which bugs are new, in progress, or done.

Measure Performance
Track how quickly your team fixes bugs and identify problem areas.

FAQs: We have answers to your Questions

How does Pronnel track dependencies on bug tickets?

Dependencies are tracked using "Blocked by" and "Blocking" links on the ticket detail view. These are visualized in lists, boards, and Gantt View so teams can see execution order and avoid starting work that is blocked.

Can we dedicate a full sprint to bug fixing?

Yes. Using Sprint Management, Team Leads can allocate a dedicated bug-fix sprint or reserve a percentage of sprint capacity for Issues within regular feature sprints.

What is the difference between Severity and Priority?

Severity reflects how bad the bug’s impact is (for example, Critical versus Minor). Priority reflects how urgently it must be fixed (for example, High versus Low), typically set by the Team Lead based on business needs.

How does Pronnel help teams track the lifecycle of an issue?

Pronnel tracks issues from creation to resolution using configurable statuses, activity logs, and audit trails, giving full visibility into every stage of the issue lifecycle.

Can issues and bugs be linked to features or tasks?

Yes. Bugs and issues can be linked to related epics, stories, or tasks, helping teams understand impact, root cause, and dependencies.

How does Pronnel help prioritize bugs effectively?

Pronnel allows teams to prioritize bugs using priority, due dates, and custom fields, ensuring critical issues are addressed first.

Does Pronnel support collaboration on bug resolution?

Absolutely. Teams can comment, attach files, tag members, and track updates directly within the issue to collaborate efficiently.

Can Pronnel provide visibility into unresolved or recurring issues?

Yes. Dashboards and reports highlight open, overdue, and recurring issues, helping teams identify patterns and prevent repeat problems.

Is Pronnel suitable for both product and internal issue tracking?

Yes. Pronnel supports tracking product bugs as well as internal operational issues, making it suitable for a wide range of team needs.
