During my internship at InIR, I was nearing the completion of my professional IT Tech course. As part of the curriculum, all students were required to research, develop, and present a final project known as a "Final Presentation" (PAP – ‘Prova de Aptidão Profissional’ in Portuguese). This final presentation involved proposing a solution to a common problem faced by companies like InIR. While a helpdesk team is effective in directly resolving user issues, challenges arose in managing the priority of each situation. To ensure the helpdesk team remained within their capacity, I proposed the creation of an internal platform. This platform would present users with a detailed survey listing potential problems they might encounter. Based on the user's selections, the platform would automatically generate a ticket for the helpdesk team, assigning a priority level (low to high) and outlining the specific issue. This system aimed to streamline the issue management process for the team. I presented this software solution to the company, and they were pleased to adopt it. My final PAP presentation received a score of 17 out of 20.
