When nobody owns production, your developers do.

One team. Two workloads.Build the product. Keep production running.

Production incidents interrupt the developer’s planned feature work.

Incidents take priority. Feature work waits.

Why feature work slows down

Production incidents require the same developer to investigate and recover production. Each interruption breaks focus and pushes planned feature work further back in the workload.

Production operations do not disappear when nobody owns them.
