Ineffective incident management workflows can affect revenue, team morale, and development velocity. There’s nothing more stressful than siloed communication while debugging a production outage.

Datadog Incident Management enables you to manage your team’s incident response workflows in a central location. Within Datadog, you’re able to declare incidents in response to alerts, investigate issues, coordinate response efforts, and remediate incidents, all without switching contexts or tools.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the ins and outs of managing incidents, work through a realistic incident scenario, and learn how to effectively use Datadog’s integrations to automatically communicate incident status to your broader organization. You’ll also learn how to leverage Datadog Incident Management, dashboards, and Notebooks to automatically populate postmortems with incident artifacts, such as assigned tasks, resolution steps, and dashboard snapshots.

Upon completing this workshop, you will be able to declare incidents across Datadog and directly from monitors. You will also learn how to use the Datadog Incident App to create and assign tasks, add relevant graphs to the incident timeline and automatically create a Postmortem.
