I think the Config Manual says it nicely: Administrators can also create private queues for specific users who need dedicated access. For example, you might create a private queue for a user who is performing critical operations that you do not want blocked by other users. Private queues

You're right as usual, Chris. But she said that they were already using Categorizations for Assignment. While testing paradigms is a practice we should all undertake, changing the entire support model is an undertaking that requires buy-in from all users and owners of the Support model. It

Jennifer-- I do not know of such a document. In fact, in ITSM 7.X that feature is not supported as one would like. Basic set theory is at work here: the assignment routine tries to match on a specific intersection (yes, set theory term, presumes all required terms are .true.) of ALL fields

I think it depends entirely on the tools that you have deployed. We do not have either SRM or Asset or anything in our CMDB, so we don't really have a place to define our Service Catalog. I haven't found an actual place in ITSM where you are supposed to define it, anyway, but maybe it is in
