When teams are in the heat of an incident, it's crucial that everyone knows what needs to be done and who is working on what. With the new tasks section, you can add tasks or task lists, assign them to users, set a due time and date and much more.

Because digital services can experience thousands of changes per day, it’s critical to intelligently surface change information in a way that’s meaningful and actionable for resolvers. By presenting relevant changes within the context of an incident, resolvers can identify recently changed services, gain greater insight into potential root causes, and immediately take action to mitigate and resolve the issue. Let’s take a look at Change Management in xMatters.

Let's explore what's new in your xMatters inventory: To help teams better understand the criticality of incidents, use service categorizations to sort your technical and application services into different tiers.

Insights provide real-time, actionable suggestions to incident commanders and resolution teams to help them mitigate and resolve incidents faster, and also provide additional context during post-incident review. In this video, I’m going to show you how insights can provide helpful and informative suggestions to improve your resolution processes.

On-call groups enable you to notify a set of users, devices, and other groups as a single recipient. An on-call group may be simple collections of members or complex shift schedules, escalation timelines, and rotations to allow you to notify the right people, at the right time.

In xMatters, groups determine how and when people are notified using on-call schedules, escalation timelines, and rotations. But what if you don't use complex on-call schedules, or need to notify all members of the group simultaneously? Broadcast groups make it easier for customers who don't always need on-call schedules.
