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.
