The one playbook to rule them all
Effective incident handling relies on well-designed playbooks that standardize processes and reduce ambiguity, particularly when dealing with black-box systems where visibility is limited. The focus should be on reducing impact rather than immediate resolution, using strategies like pattern matching or first-principles debugging under time constraints. Accurate change tracking and timeline maintenance are essential for identifying triggers and coordinating efforts.
