Incident Commander Simulator: Run the First 30 Minutes

Most outages are made worse by confusion, not by lack of intelligence. This session puts participants into a simulated incident with alerts, partial facts, stakeholder questions, noisy dashboards, and a ticking clock.

Rotating roles cover incident commander, scribe, investigator, and communications lead. The outcome is a clean timeline, a decision log, a customer-facing update, and a short post-incident review. It is designed for engineers, founders, community maintainers, and technical leads.
