Incident Triage List

Problem to solve

As a user responsible for maintaining the availability and reliability of services for customers, I want the ability to view a list of my active incidents so that I can make sure on-going problems are being responded to so that I can meet my SLOs.

Intended users

User experience goal

Responders can triage active incidents in a list view. Incidents list view is accessible from/near alerts list view.

Proposal

As of now (May 2020) we are using issues as incidents. Incidents are issues labeled incident. For the MVC, we can create a list view that displays all issues labeled incidents.

Longer-term, we will use this list to display our dedicated issue types for incidents.

Design

We polled SREs and team members and, almost unanimously, people preferred surfacing incidents separately from alerts. So, this would mean adding a separate nav item, and a separate list, specifically for incidents:

Separate_incidents_page

This work supports the Incident Management category direction.

Availability & Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?

Is this a cross-stage feature?
