Mechanisms and techniques provide a system for tracking and reporting on
the resolution of problems across multiple product areas. The system can
receive a first problem definition and can define a first work item
identifying a respective first resolution associated with the first
problem definition. The system can further define a second work item
identifying a respective second resolution associated with the first
problem definition. Work items can be automatically generated by the
system or users may manually create the work items. The system can also
receive at least one work item update for at least one of the first and
second work item. The work item update alters a resolution state
associated with either the first and second work items for which the work
item update is received. The system can also provide a problem resolution
report for the first problem definition based upon a correlation of
resolution states associated with at least the first and second work
items.
