Ticket keys

Each ticket gets a key made of the project code and a number that counts up across the whole project, for example TS-004-1, TS-004-2. Numbers are never reused, and keys are searchable.

Statuses

Ticket statuses are the board's workflow stages, so they can differ from board to board. A ticket counts as done when it's in the board's completion stage.
