Thanks for helping us reclassify feedback, and flagging when our model read too much into the use of cheeky emojis. More here: bit.ly/46fkgXn

@honeycomb.io needed to track and report the human impact of on-call alerts.

Together, we co-designed a solution that cut their reporting time by 90% and provided transparent reporting on the impact of alerts.

How this works in practice โžก๏ธ The view shows the distinct number of calendar hours disrupted by pages. For example, if there are pages at 6.30pm, 7.15pm, and 7.25pm, we would count two disrupted hours (6-7pm, and 7-8pm).

With this new view, youโ€™ll be able to clearly see the difference between concentrated and distributed disruptions to better understand the human impact on your team.

Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve launched a new Disrupted Hours chart view โ€“ now you can use our in-chart toggles to view page disruptions based on the total number of pages or the distinct number of hours disrupted by pages. ๐Ÿคฉ

Looking after your teamโ€™s wellbeing while managing on-call page disruptions can be a juggle. PagerDuty research found that 54% of page responders are being interrupted outside of normal working hours.

The wellbeing impact of being paged 5 times over 5 hours is larger than 5 times in one hour.

The research discusses the perceived tension between being human-centric AND data-driven; teams want to be both but struggle with how.

What helps is building trust and being transparent with the use of metrics, because those support psychological safety. ๐Ÿ’ก
