Forensic Timeline

When an issue has a high risk score, you need to understand why. This forensic timeline shows every significant event in an issue's lifecycle — creation, status changes, priority changes, assignee changes — in chronological order, so you can see exactly how a ticket accumulated its risk profile and what interventions were made (or missed) along the way.

For compliance audits, this is the record that demonstrates due diligence on high-risk issues.

What you can conclude

• A long gap with no events in the middle of the timeline is the most common contributor to high risk scores — the issue was abandoned for a period.
• Multiple priority changes in a short window indicate poor initial scoping or external pressure driving reactive triage.
• A clean, progressive timeline (create → assign → progress → close) with no reversals is the target state — absence of this pattern explains the high score.
