This documentation covers parts of the Spearhead Systems Issue Response process. It is a copy of [PagerDuty's](https://github.com/PagerDuty/incident-response-docs/) documentation and furthermore a cut-down version of our own internal documentation, used at Spearhead Systems for any issue (incident or service request), and to prepare new employees for on-call responsibilities. It provides information not only on preparing for an incident, but also what to do during and after. It is intended to be used by on-call practitioners and those involved in an operational incident response process (or those wishing to enact a formal incident response process). See the [about page](about.md) for more information on what this documentation is and why it exists. This documentation is complementary to what is available in our [existing wiki](https://sphsys.sharepoint.com) and may not yet be open sourced.

!!! note "Issue, Incident and Service Request"
At Spearhead we use the term *issue* to define any request from our customers. Issues fall into two categories: "Service Requests (SR)" and "Incidents (IN)". Note that we use the term Incident to describe both a service request as well as incidents. For brevity we will use SR and IN throughout this documentation.
At Spearhead we use the term *issue* to define any request from our customers. Issues fall into two categories: "Service Requests (SR)" and "Incidents (IN)". An IN will generally be an issue that has impact on the normal functioning of the business while a SR generally does not.
A "service request" is usually initiated by a human and is generally not critical for the normal functioning of the business while an "incident" is an issue that is or can cause interruption to normal business functions.

## Being On-Call
If you've never been on-call before, you might be wondering what it's all about. These pages describe what the expectations of being on-call are, along with some resources to help you.
