Bug Triage Panel
Stop triaging bugs in your head.
What changes when you build this
The gaps you're living with today,
and what this tool fixes.
Problems
- New bugs land in Slack threads, GitHub issues, and support tickets — nobody knows which ones have been acknowledged
- On-call engineers spend the first 15 minutes of every shift piecing together what's still open from the last rotation
- Critical bugs sit unassigned for hours because there's no routing rule — just "someone will pick it up"
- SLA breaches surface after the deadline passes because severity thresholds live in a wiki nobody checks
- Postmortems take days to compile because bug history is scattered across 4+ tools
Solutions
- Every bug funnels into one panel with a single status, severity, and owner — no more cross-referencing tools
- Shift handoffs start with a filtered view of open bugs sorted by severity instead of a Slack scroll
- Assignment rules route new bugs to the right engineer based on component, severity, or on-call schedule
- SLA timers count down in real time and flag bugs approaching breach before it happens
- Full activity history per bug — status changes, reassignments, comments — ready for postmortem without manual collection

Mistakes to avoid
These are the failure patterns teams hit most often
when building this.
Severity inflationFix: Define severity levels with concrete criteria — 'Critical' means revenue impact or data loss, not 'PM said it's urgent.'

Unassigned bugs pile upFix: Auto-assign new bugs based on component ownership map so nothing sits without an owner for more than 10 minutes.

Stale bugs never get closedFix: Flag bugs with no status change in 14+ days and surface them in a weekly cleanup view.

No link between bugs and deploysFix: Join the bugs table to deployment history so you can trace which release introduced or resolved each issue.

Duplicate bug reportsFix: Add a 'related bugs' field and search-before-create flow so reporters check existing entries first.
