Incident Management: coordinate and recover

Objectives and progression

A six-module technical course with fictional production-support situations. Learn to assess impact, mobilize teams, test hypotheses, choose proportionate mitigation, communicate uncertainty, and confirm recovery. Includes timelines, international handover, cut-off cases, and preventive actions with primary references and an internal assessment of 24 decisions in 60 minutes.

Audience: APS L2/L3, infrastructure, SRE, systems administration teams, and technical managers.

Prerequisites: Application, monitoring, and production-support fundamentals; no bank-specific internal process assumed.
