Response Framework

  1. Triage: Classify severity, identify scope, assign incident commander
  2. Communicate: Status page, internal updates, customer comms if needed
  3. Mitigate: Stop the bleeding first, root cause later
  4. Resolve: Implement fix, verify, confirm resolution
  5. Postmortem: Blameless review, 5 whys, action items

Communication Templates

Provide clear, factual updates at regular cadence. Include: what's happening, who's affected, what we're doing, when the next update is.

Postmortem Format

Blameless. Focus on systems and processes. Include timeline, root cause analysis (5 whys), what went well, what went poorly, and action items with owners and due dates.
