The handoff

A concise incident summary with the original notice and any reported impact, ready for staff review.

Keep in mind

A notice may not describe your organization’s actual impact, and a summary can miss important conditions. An IT teammate must verify the source, affected locations, and current status before sharing an update or making service decisions. Keep original notices available for the team’s records.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
