Between the core incident response team
When an incident starts, Blameless opens a thread in your chat-app, dedicated to that incident. Your team can use bot commands or emoji reactions to assign roles, progress the incident forward, update the incident timeline, and more.

Keep managers and executives in the loop, with the right info, at the right time
Status reports are important but are a huge distraction to the engineers responding to an incident. Blameless allows you to pre-configure message templates and automatic triggers so that comms get shared with real-time data. You don’t need to stop what you’re doing to make sure internal stakeholders are keeping a pulse on your services.
