Incident Management

# Incident Management

The operational backbone of engineering reliability. These prompts cover the full incident lifecycle — from the moment an alert fires through to the organisational learning that prevents recurrence.

## When to Use These

- **Alert just fired:** Grab the incident commander runbook or the real-time status page update
- **During an incident:** Use the war room facilitation guide or the customer-facing comms template
- **After resolution:** Postmortem (see also Planning #11), remediation tracking, trend analysis
- **Proactively:** On-call handoff, runbook creation, incident readiness review, game day planning
