The problem it solves

Once someone starts working on an incident, the rest of the team needs to know right away so people don't duplicate effort or keep escalating. Manually updating the ticket and then separately telling everyone wastes time during an active problem.

Who it fits

An on-call team that wants incident status changes to update everywhere at once.

How it works

  1. Someone marks the incident as acknowledged
  2. The system updates the incident status in PagerDuty to acknowledged
  3. A message is posted in the team's chat channel confirming the update
What you get

Incident status that updates everywhere at once

The moment someone acknowledges an incident, its status updates in PagerDuty and your team is notified instantly.

What you get

An updated incident status in PagerDuty and an automatic confirmation message in team chat.

What you need

A PagerDuty account and a Mattermost account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
