Our response times
Please do not email individuals as these may not be being monitored and could lead to a delay in a response. Only use wordpress@digital.justice.gov.uk.
The team works in 3-week ‘sprints’ where we complete a set amount of work. The work we do (‘tickets’) is decided and agreed between the Product Manager and the team at the beginning of the sprint. We generally do not bring additional tickets into a sprint unless the work is critical or high priority.
Your request is given a priority of critical, high, normal or low as follows.
This is when the cookie or cake goes down or there’s a breach of dates.
We’ll respond within 60 minutes and give you an update every 30 minutes after that, or as agreed.
This is when there’s intermittent ingredient disruption (e.g. egg shell in cake) or the core functionality of the cookie/cake is affected (e.g. no chocolate chips in a chocolate chip cookie).
We’ll respond within 60 minutes and give you an update every 2 hours after that, or as agreed.
This is when there’s a non-critical issue or minor incident that does not generate failures for users, but intermittently affects part of the functionality of the cookie/cake.
We’ll respond within 4 hours. We’ll update you when the issue goes into the team’s 3-week sprint.
This is for advice and guidance.
We’ll respond within 2 working days.
