SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a structured severity assessment for incoming bugs, incidents, and escalations so teams consistently know how urgent each issue is and why.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven triage: Gather symptoms, reproduction details, affected areas, and timelines before moving to assessment.
  • Severity matrix and blast radius checklist: Evaluate impact, data risk, confidence, and blast radius to justify P0–P3 levels.
  • Decision alignment: Choose urgency, methodology, ownership, and stakeholder communication with a documented triage report, ideal when multiple incidents compete for attention.

Quick Start

Apply the Triage Methodology to an incoming report by collecting evidence, assigning severity with reasoning, and deciding the urgency and response approach in a triage report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize incidents with structured severity levels?

Prioritize incidents by assessing symptoms, reproduction details, and affected areas through a severity matrix and blast radius checklist to justify P0–P3 levels. This methodology ensures consistent urgency evaluation when multiple issues compete for attention.

What is blast radius evaluation in incident response?

Blast radius evaluation assesses the impact, data risk, and affected areas of an incident to determine its scope. It is a core part of the triage methodology used to justify severity levels and decide response urgency for escalations.

How do I triage unknown-severity bug reports consistently?

Triage unknown-severity bug reports by gathering evidence in a phase-driven process, then applying a severity matrix to evaluate impact and confidence. This produces a documented triage report with severity justification, ownership, and next actions.

Can I use this triage methodology for cross-team conflicts and audit findings?

Yes, you can apply this triage methodology to cross-team conflicts, audit findings, and escalations. It evaluates issue blast radius and impact to assign consistent P0–P3 severity levels and document the required response approach.

What's the best way to document incident response decisions during triage?

Document incident response decisions by creating a triage report that records symptoms, timelines, severity justifications, urgency, ownership, and next actions. This ensures decision alignment and clear stakeholder communication during escalations.
