How SRE and ops teams can use a simple, paper-only constellation map to turn scattered incidents into a clear, systemic picture of reliability—without any specialized tools.
Why every engineering and business team needs a stocked “analog incident pantry” of paper playbooks, tabletop drills, and repeatable rituals before the next major outage hits.
How a simple “reliability pencil case” and a few tiny analog habits can make on‑call work saner, strengthen reliability culture, and turn incidents into lasting organizational learning.
How a simple, hand‑drawn five‑frame sketchbook can transform live incident response, sharpen on‑call muscle memory, and create clearer, more actionable post‑incident reviews.
How a simple, hand-sketched “incident compass rose” and small reliability rituals can align every on‑call engineer toward the same goals, reduce burnout, and improve incident response.
How a low‑tech, paper-based incident logbook can capture scattered outage clues, speed up incident response, and quietly strengthen your reliability practice when digital tools fall short.
How a “card catalog” mindset can transform your incident response from chaotic firefighting into a searchable library of clues, patterns, and lessons that make every future incident faster and easier to resolve.
How to turn scattered runbooks into a seamless, embedded guidance system for managing high-stakes outages—especially in utilities—using modern tools and smart on-call design.
How to use simple, low-tech tools to model complex, high-stakes incidents, practice decision-making under pressure, and improve reliability across technical and organizational boundaries.
How a low-tech, paper-style incident case file can dramatically improve modern reliability work by fixing context at intake, guiding investigations, and turning outages into systematic improvements.
