Custom On-Call Scheduling
Schedules are the base of your teamโs on-call calendar. Add as many team members as you like to each schedule. Create different schedules for different days and times of the week to share the burden of on-call equally amongst team members.

Use Cases Of Different On-Call Schedules
Below you can find some examples of typical on-call setups you can create with All Quiet. Find the one that suits your organization best or customize your own solution.
The "Lone Wolf" ๐บ
Classic setup when starting your own software business. One person in charge, 24/7/365. All alerts come straight to your phone. If you have more than one person capable fixing bugs, we recommend other setups.

"Weekday ๐ - Weekend ๐"
Great, simple set-up if you want to have specific team members in charge on the weekends. You can add unlimited team members per schedule. You can also add rotations to reduce the on-call times for Sandra and Micheal on the weekends.

๐ "Follow-The-Sun" ๐
Smart setup for teams with people distributed globally. Team members share the daily on-call duties by handing over on-call shifts based on their timezones. As the workday ends for one team, the work is handed over to the team in the next time zone, allowing operations to continue without interruption. Looking at our example, we have 3 schedules from 3 different timezones. Team Hongkong hands over to Team London once they finish work at 16:00 (UTC+8). Team London, then, hands over to Team L.A. before they hand back to Team Hongkong once they finish their work. This way, thereโs someone on call 24/7 whilst nobody has to do night shifts and everyone can recharge effectively.

Optimize Your Teamโs On-Call Scheduling

โฌ๏ธ Escalation Policies
Make you on-call calendar more resilient. Use escalations to automatically inform additional team members if an issue wasnโt addressed after a certain time. You can also use escalations to build a โsafety netโ, preparing for the unexpected.
