CommsFlow Messaging Templates | Blameless
Effective communication is critical during incidents. In order to minimize the impact of an incident and resolve it quickly, it's important that all stakeholders are kept informed and updated throughout the incident response process. However, communicating during an incident can be challenging, especially when dealing with multiple stakeholders and a high level of stress. On-call engineers can have their focus disrupted by switching out of their diagnostic tools to issue communications.
Types of Incident Retrospective Templates
When an incident occurs, it's important to take the time to review what happened, understand all the contributing factors, and identify systemic changes to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. This process is known as an incident retrospective. However, conducting incident retrospectives can be time-consuming and difficult, especially when dealing with multiple stakeholders and a large amount of data.

5 Best practices for developing a culture of continuous improvement
How do you create a great engineering team? Exclusively hire brilliant, tenured computer science PhDs. There we solved it. You can skip the next 400 words. (I can hear my college professor in my head saying “Humor might not be your strong suit”) Building a great engineering team isn’t easy. Understatement of the year. It’s not even a problem to be solved per se. We need to think about it as preparation to solve an infinite set of constantly evolving problems.
