Triage is all, and if OTRS isn't set up to make it easy then it should
be. 
 

Sadly it isn't. There are several queues, but probably not enough for effective triage (i.e. most of it ends up in quality or courtesy). There is also an "urgency" attribute on tickets that can be changed - but this only puts them higher up the queue (which a lot of people work on from the end).

Moving tickets is a pain - you have to scan through a dropdown menu mostly consisting of unrelated other-language tickets to find the english queues, then pick one & hit submit. At which point the queue you are on is reloaded, and if you happened to have been on e.g. a ticket or differnet queue in another tab you will end up there...

Pain in the..

:P
