Abstract
Aspects include a method, a system and a computer program product for providing status updates while collaboratively resolving an issue. The method includes identifying, using a processing device, one or more key phrases in an electronic text-based message. Based on the identified one or more key phrases, at least one status-based suggestion is provided to a user to change a status milestone associated with a problem resolution. The providing of the change of milestone includes: building a table to map a key phrase to one or more status identifiers; mapping the key phrase to one or more status identifiers to associate the key phrase with the at least one status-based suggestion; and displaying a corresponding status milestone based on the user selecting from the at least one status-based suggestion.
