Curious about the incident priority matrix? We discuss how to determine the impact and urgency of an incident, and how to create a matrix that helps prioritize incidents.

My first incident.io-incident happened in my second week here, when I screwed up the process for requesting extra Slack permissions, which made it impossible to install our app for a few minutes. This was a bit embarrassing, but also simple to resolve for someone more familiar with the process, and declaring an incident meant we got there in just a few minutes. Declaring the first incident when you start a new job can be intimidating, but it really shouldn’t be.

A lot of people in technology talk about the cost of an incident solely from the perspective of downtime, or the number of customers and employees impacted. And from the surface, oftentimes that is a fair angle to take. It makes the headlines, and customer reputation and trust are critical to the success of any business—obviously.

The cost of IT downtimes is enormous as service breakdowns impact both the top-line and bottom-line growth. As the digital ecosystem continues to become complex and organizations continue to adopt additional tools and systems to scale their businesses, it’s imperative that they are equipped with incident response tools that can help drive accelerated incident response and mitigate expensive downtimes.

MTTR, or mean time to resolve, is an important key performance indicator for incident response teams to track, but it’s rarely useful for technological stakeholders or customers. To really make use of the data at their disposal, decision-makers must tailor the info they provide—and understand the scope and granularity of the data they have when they deploy an AIOps platform like ours. That’s the gist of our latest Real Talk webinar on analytics and reporting maturity.

Storage systems are an integral part of IT infrastructure. Given that modern markets are highly competitive and demanding, businesses strive for 24/7 availability. This in turn sets higher expectations for storage systems to be operational all the time. But just like other IT components, even storage systems are prone to incidents. Hence, it is important to have an efficient communication process, to manage alerts during system failures/disasters.

We discuss what software engineers and site reliability engineering are and explain their differences and their importance in the software development process.

Regardless of your organization’s size, industry, or security measures, you will inevitably face IT incidents. But what do you do if an incident affects a critical system and your on-call responders can’t resolve it? Does your team have a set of clearly outlined next steps they should take to handle the issue? Answering these questions can be complicated, even more so for large organizations that rely on cloud-based services to fuel their IT environment.
