A debrief is a Google Calendar event used for regrouping after an incident has been resolved. During a debrief, it's common to:

  • Discuss the post-mortem

  • Create follow-ups to stop the incident from happening again

  • Invite incident responders and some key stakeholders

It may be called different names, but for now, we're referring to it as a debrief within incident.io.

If you have followed the flow above to attach a Google Calendar event as a debrief to an incident, you can always remove it from the sidebar on the incident details page:
