Need for user assignment of alert tickets

[jira-sales]

Please tell me why I should bother assigning users to alert tickets that are emailed to the team from the monitoring system.

I have already created an alert ticket addressed to the team, so I don't think I need to bother assigning a user.

Assigning users to alert tickets in Jira Service Management (JSM) is considered a best practice. It's important to remember that assignment should not be viewed solely as a way to alert or notify a user. Clearly defining responsibility reduces the risk of bottlenecks. Without proper assignment, multiple team members might work on the same ticket, resulting in wasted time and confusion. Additionally, using assignees allows you to benefit from (SLAs) and reports. You can also leverage historical data, audit trails, and more that do not come to my mind at the moment.
