Not Everything Critical is Urgent. Learn the Difference

The text explores the distinction between "critical" and "urgent" in incident response, particularly in the context of PagerDuty's incident management. It discusses how a staging environment may be critical for business operations but not necessarily urgent at all times, such as during off-hours, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between these terms to avoid unnecessary stress and burnout for on-call engineers. The piece highlights the benefits of having a range of alert responses to provide early warnings of potential issues while allowing users to prioritize incidents based on urgency rather than just criticality. PagerDuty offers features like Incident Urgencies to help users manage alerts more effectively, ensuring that only truly urgent issues result in immediate notifications, thereby improving on-call experiences and reducing unnecessary disruptions.
