Line 4 stops. The calls start.
Every incident comes with a second one:
the constant questions.
Support needs something to tell customers. The plant manager wants a time. Product wants to know what's affected. Each question is fair, and each one pulls an engineer away from the fix.
What should I tell the customer who just called?
SupportIs it only line 4, or are other halls affected too?
Product ownerDo we know yet when it'll be back?
Plant manager
With IncidentLive, they ask the incident instead, in the browser or right in Microsoft Teams, and get an answer from what the team has actually recorded.

From the first alert to the final report
Tickets, alerts, notes, files and agent reports land on one timeline, in the order they happened, and nobody can quietly rewrite it. A short briefing on top says what's going on and what isn't known yet. Everything below is built on that timeline.
Claude Code reports a hypothesis, marked as not confirmed
Your coding agents report while they investigate
An engineer connects an agent session to the incident. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex or Cursor then reports progress and findings straight to the timeline, without anyone typing a status update.
- Findings are marked as observation, hypothesis or confirmed
- An agent finishing its work never closes the incident
Three questions answered. Nobody interrupted the engineers.
Answers your stakeholders can check for themselves
Every statement links to the timeline entries it comes from, so nobody has to take the answer on trust. If the timeline doesn't say, IncidentLive says so too.
- No made-up resolution times, and nothing called confirmed that isn't
- Each reader only gets answers from the entries they're allowed to see
Root cause confirmed by Rita. The 8D draft starts.
The 8D report starts itself. People finish it.
When the incident is resolved, IncidentLive drafts D1 to D8 of the 8D report, the eight-step problem report quality teams use, from the incident's own timeline, with sources. Your team reviews, comments, sends it back or approves it.
- Approval is always a separate step by a person
- The approved report is a PDF that names who approved it
Follow-ups suggested from the timeline
Fix it once, remember it next time
Below each incident you see earlier ones that look alike, with what was found and what helped. After an incident, IncidentLive suggests follow-up work from the timeline. Your team picks what to do and turns it into Jira or GitHub issues.
- Earlier incidents show why they look alike and which cause was confirmed
- Nothing becomes an issue until someone on your team confirms it

Line 4 runs again. The report is signed off.
The same incident, one day later: the cause confirmed by a person, the 8D report approved, the follow-ups in Jira. Every step on the way links back to the timeline, and nobody had to chase the engineers for an update.
