This is a brief overview of the support process used by DSD-Marine (a.k.a. AFCCB or MARINESAFETY), from SMGS ticket to TFS and back again.  Please review this process to familiarize yourself with how to properly manage application support for our MSS applications.If you have any questions or concerns, your Scrum Master can provide additional information or guidance.

Note: If you are receiving e-mails or phone calls from business clients seeking application support, please let your Scrum Master know as soon as possible.  While we are committed to provided timely support to our clients, we want to minimize any additional impact on your Ninja Team's sprint velocities. Clients will be advised to contact the Transport Canada Service Desk for all application support needs.  Please contact me (justin.green@tc.gc.ca) if you'd like samples of the e-mails that I've sent to clients in an attempt to better explain the situation.
