01 — Context

Initiated the establishment of a dedicated support unit at CRMiUM, freeing Project Managers to focus fully on delivery instead of fielding routine client requests.

02 — My Role
Initiate & design

Proposed and designed the support department as a new function, separate from the PM team.

03 — Challenge
01

PMs were absorbing routine client requests alongside their delivery work, with no dedicated channel to handle them.

02

No tiered support structure or escalation path for client issues.

04 — Solution

Subscription System

Tiered support subscriptions — Basic, Standard, and Premium — letting clients pick the level of coverage and response time that matched their needs, instead of a one-size-fits-all support contract.

Jira Service Management

Implemented Jira Service Management as the ticketing/workflow backbone for the new support function.

L1, L2, L3 Support

Structured support into three tiers (L1/L2/L3), with escalation paths between them.
