Ticket Systems: Task Management for Development Teams
Last updated: March 2026 · Reading time: 3 minutes
"Can you also quickly do..." is the enemy of structured work. Without a ticket system, verbal requests get forgotten, priorities become unclear and nobody knows who is working on what.
What a Ticket System Delivers
Traceability: every task has a history. Who created it, who worked on it, when was it completed. Nothing gets lost.
Prioritization: tickets are sorted by urgency and importance. The team always knows what to work on next.
Transparency: the client sees the project status at any time. No "How far along are we?" emails — the board shows it.
Integration: GitLab connects tickets with code. A merge request references the ticket and closes it automatically upon merge.
How arocom Works with Planio (Redmine)
arocom uses Planio, a hosted Redmine platform, for all client projects. Every requirement, bug and change request becomes a ticket with a clear description, acceptance criteria and effort estimate.
Categories classify tickets: feature, bug, improvement, content. Milestones group tickets into sprints. The board shows the current status: open, in progress, review, done.
The client has access to the board and can create tickets, set priorities and track progress. Full transparency in both directions.

Which ticket system does arocom recommend?
Planio (Redmine) for structured project management. Jira for clients with existing Atlassian infrastructure. The choice depends on your existing tool landscape.
Can we create tickets ourselves?
Yes. Every client gets access to the project board and can create tickets, set priorities and add comments. This shortens communication paths and creates transparency.
