What is an escalation policy? (And why every team needs one)

An escalation policy is the route an incident takes after it triggers. It lays out who gets alerted first and sets a wait time. If nobody responds, it moves the incident forward to the next person. The word “escalation” is worth pausing on. When an incident triggers and the first person doesn’t respond, the incident doesn’t sit and wait. It moves to the next person and keeps moving until someone picks it up. That forward movement is the escalation.

[Webinar] Conquering the Complexity of Self-Hosted Apps with Agentic AI SRE

Most enterprise SaaS products, like Komodor’s Autonomous AI SRE Platform, require installing a remote agent on the customer’s infrastructure, which varies significantly from one organization to another, in terms of architecture, configurations, permissions, processes, and more. This “unmanaged” model creates major blind spots, making daily operations, observability, debugging, and incident response challenging. When failures occur, limited visibility and bespoke systems make root-cause analysis slow, incomplete, or impossible.

A compass for designing your escalation policy

The first time you sit down to design an escalation policy, it can feel a little like a crossroads. You know incidents need to reach the right people. You just aren’t sure which structure makes the most sense. Should you route by severity? By who’s available? Or by team? There’s no single right answer. Think of this guide as a compass. A compass doesn’t tell you exactly where to go. It helps you orient yourself based on where you already are.
