📍 IN BRIEF
How fast a team recovers from an SLA breach is decided before the breach ever happens. The organisations that recover in an hour are executing decisions they made in calm conditions. The organisations that take a week are trying to make those same decisions live, under pressure, in the worst possible conditions for making any decision at all.
