PagerDuty is excited to introduce Round Robin Scheduling. Round Robin Scheduling allows teams to equitably distribute on-call shift responsibilities amongst team members. Automatically assigning new incidents across different users or on-call schedules on an escalation level ensures that teams are resolving incidents as efficiently as possible. And, by balancing the workload across multiple users, there’s less risk of burnout.

Most support organizations today adopt some form of the traditional tiered support model. It is one that is based on a process of escalations and customer handoffs. Under this model, customer issues get escalated through multiple levels of a support hierarchy, with three tiers being a common workflow.

PagerDuty’s Operations Cloud helps organizations with critical work across the entire business, from IT teams to customer service to human resources, marketing, sales, and more. With PagerDuty, organizations can prioritize accurately, respond efficiently, and reduce operational overhead.

Incident management is the process or method that modern organizations use to prepare for and respond to service disruptions.
