Common Service Desk metrics values

[Michal]

Hi,
I was unable to find any solid data on the Internet. I'm interested in these common metrics and specially their values (with distinction of high, medium and low priority):

Incident: Average initial Response Time
Incident: Average resolution Time
Change request: Averate initial response time
Service: Average availability (uptime)

What are your real live experiences or can you direct me to some benchmarks? I was unable to find any.

Thank you

[Diarmid]

There are no general benchmarks for these kind of figures for the simple reasons that very few organizations are sufficiently similar and that is before you take the non-comparability of the meaning of the priority codes into account.

No such data could be found on Internet, I tried before.

In general, i believe you need these data, because someone now asked you to tell whether we were doing good or not, right? Or to evaluate how many people we still need to hire to fix the gaps.

I think you need to review your history data and generate the report of your own organization.
And then share with others and get their expectation on what should be achieved.
