Incidents happen. Things go wrong. Systems fail. Sometimes they fail in unexpected and dramatic ways that create Major Incidents. PagerDuty makes a very specific distinction between an incident and an Incident. Your organization may also make such a distinction.

And, by balancing the workload across multiple users, there’s less risk of burnout.
Most support organizations today adopt some form of the traditional tiered support model. It is one that is based on a process of escalations and customer handoffs. Under this model, customer issues get escalated through multiple levels of a support hierarchy, with three tiers being a common workflow.

A Scrum Ceremony is a type of scrum event or meeting that is intended to help move projects forward in a more timely and efficient manner.
