Use the semantics of the standard Incident Command System. Emergency responders have spent decades figuring out the best way to organize for these situations. Tech orgs should leverage that work.

I have experience applying ICS-style process to incidents and have delivered training to ~hundreds of engineers at $job. I am partial to this PD doc: https://response.pagerduty.com/training/courses/incident_res...

I will just share a somewhat similar project: https://github.com/netflix/dispatch Also open source, also Python, also incident management, also custom severities (but not as much of custom roles, afaik) :) Has some integrations with slack, but not focused on Slack particularly. Can be a good project to learn from as well :) My relation to it: I only contributed with a couple of pull requests there :)

It looks nice. I wish it would support prometheus/lokio/grafana.
