The Four Agreements of Incident Response
summary
Maps the Four Agreements to concrete incident practices: a study of over 10,000 companies, 50,000 responders and 760 million notifications shows 60M dinner, 82M evening, ~250M sleeping‑hour and 122M weekend alerts and ties attrition to interrupted days (replacement cost ~$300K). Uses PagerDuty + Slack + Azure integrations, an open‑sourced response playbook, and these rules: anyone can trigger incidents, don’t litigate severity, make one person accountable (timeboxed tasks), treat the incident commander as authority and rally fast, disband faster with 4–6 hour rotations.
