Incident response guideline

As explained in Lead Developer Career Guide

A documented recommendation for assessing, managing, communicating about, and recovering from an incident.

An incident response guideline documents how to assess, manage, communicate about, and recover from technical or nontechnical emergencies. section 10.3.3

A practical guideline should:

  • Notify the lead developer and relevant stakeholders immediately. section 10.3.3
  • Assess severity and scope, identify critical systems, and consider risks and available resources. section 10.3.3
  • Assign responsibilities according to team members’ expertise and availability. section 10.3.3
  • Document decisions and their rationale, then reassess the response as new information arrives. section 10.3.3

When an organization shuts down

A shutdown can create both practical and emotional disruption. Gathering resources, coordinating with the project manager, and helping the team finish essential work can provide stability during a nontechnical emergency. section 10.3.3
