1

See active incidents without leaving messaging

As a user, I can view a list of active incidents within my team in the RHS so that I get an overview of what’s currently happening.

 

2

See active incident detail without leaving messaging

As a user, I can select an active incident in the RHS to view its detail so that it’s accessible from anywhere.

 

3

Find the conversation related to an incident

As a user, I can see and click on the channel associated to an incident in the RHS so that I can quickly navigate to it.

 

4

Know who’s the main contact for each incident

As a user, I can view the commander of all incidents in the RHS without opening it so that I know who’s the point person.

 

5

Start an incident from without leaving messaging

As a user, I can start an incident within my team with a slash command, RHS, or post action so that response can start quickly.

 

6

Have a commander for every incident

As the user that starts an incident, I default as the commander so that ownership is clear.

 

7

Auto-create a channel for every incident

As the Incident plugin, a new channel is automatically created when an incident starts so that there is a place to log activities.

 

8

Choose the incident/channel name

As the user, I can choose the name of the new channel so that it’s easily recognized

 

9

Log incident start and end time

As the Incident plugin, a message is posted to the channel when the incident starts and ends so there is a timestamp record of who made the change.
