Support Escalation Procedure¶
This document establishes the process for escalating issues using Slack as the primary communication channel between Gamnify and the operator.
Communication Channels¶
- Primary Channel: Slack (as pre-agreed by the two parties)
-
Backup Channels:
- Email ([email protected])
- Phone (in case of Slack unavailability or a P1 incident). Please contact the team for phone numbers.
Incident Reporting & Resolution Process¶
1. Initial Reporting¶
Any operator noticing an issue should report it in the Slack channel ideally including the following information:
- Title: Brief description of the issue.
- Product Impacted: e.g., Scheduled Feed for Bundliga
- Description: Detailed explanation of the problem.
- Impact: Description of the impact on operations.
- Severity Level: P1, P2, P3 or P4
- Timestamp: Time of occurrence.
- Screenshot/Logs: Attach any relevant evidence.
- Tag relevant stakeholders.
2. Acknowledgment¶
- Within 15 minutes of reporting, Gamnify's support must acknowledge the issue in the Slack channel.
- A severity level (P1-P4) is agreed upon.
3. Severity Levels¶
- P1 (Critical): Severe impact on operations; immediate attention required.
- P2 (High): Major issue with significant impact but not critical.
- P3 (Medium): Moderate issue with some impact on operations.
- P4 (Low): Minor issue with minimal impact.
4. Incident Management¶
- Continuous updates will be posted by Gamnify's support personnel every 30 minutes in the Slack channel.
- If necessary, a call will be organized using Slack huddle, or Microsoft Teams, whichever way is most appropriate for the operator.
Post-Incident Review¶
Post-Mortem Meeting¶
- For P1 and P2 incidents, a post-mortem meeting will be scheduled by Gamnify within 24-48 hours to review the issue, its resolution, and lessons learned.
- The findings and improvement actions will be shared in a document with the operator via email.
- The total time for resolution is agreed upon, and any service credits due to the operator are reported in the post-mortem.
Feedback Loop¶
- We encourage the team members on the operator's side to provide feedback on the escalation process to ensure it remains effective and efficient.
