Recapping our live event: On-call as it should be, present and future

The launch of On-call was an integral part of the incident.io mission to become the single place you turn when things go wrong, and recently we hosted a live virtual event to show how it all came together. In this event, incident.io Co-founder and CTO Pete Hamilton sat down with incident.io Product Manager Megan McDonald, Product Engineer Rory Bain, and fellow Co-founder and CPO Chris Evans to demo the product, discuss the journey of the creation, and expand on what’s next.

Why action items shouldn't be the goal post-incident #incidentmanagement #podcast

In this clip, Colette explains why focusing on coming up with a list of action items post-incident is a big mistake. About the episode: What if we told you that everything you thought you knew about incident response was wrong. Well, at least some of it.

Or, even worse, that some of the assumptions you’ve been making have actually been having a negative impact on you, your team and your organization.

The Debrief: On-call was just the beginning-reflecting on Q1 2024 #incidentmanagement

We chat about On-call, our AI launch, and the hundreds of other features, bug fixes, and bits of polish and delight that we've shipped over the last 12 weeks.

Shifting left on incident management

In the fast-paced world of software development and product delivery, incidents are often viewed as unwanted disruptions.
