2023/03/15

What is your approach to incident management? While at NDC London, Richard talks to Hila Fish about her work in incident management. Hila talks about understanding when you have an incident and trying to grasp the scope before acting - is it impacting customer value?

Making the dashboard lights turn green is not enough - you want to get to
