Zendesk's High Severity Incident Analysis Process
How does Zendesk handle high severity incident analysis?
Zendesk handles high severity incident analysis by scheduling a retrospective meeting with all involved team members and stakeholders. This meeting is typically held within 72 hours of incident resolution, depending on complexity and team availability.
During the meeting, the root cause analysis is documented, and an Incident Document is created. This document includes an overview, customer impact, technical description, root cause, and remediation actions. The goal is to fully resolve underlying issues and prevent future incidents.
