Best Practices

Keep It Simple

  • Start with 5-10 labels
  • Add more only when needed
  • Avoid overlapping categories

Consistent Naming

  • Use singular nouns: “Bug” not “Bugs”
  • Be specific: “Payment Issue” not just “Problem”
  • Avoid abbreviations

Review Regularly

  • Remove unused labels
  • Merge similar labels
  • Update colors for clarity
