História: Projeto B2: mediar um desacordo

Nível: B2

An incident disagreement

An engineering group disagreed about whether to roll back a release or keep a limited rollout after an outage. One side wanted the fastest recovery, while another wanted more evidence before changing the system again. The incident commander agreed to mediate before the stakeholder update. Let’s focus on reliability, customer impact and a clear next step, she said.

Listening to both sides

What I hear the first group saying is that a rollback would reduce customer impact quickly. What I hear the second group saying is that a limited rollout would preserve useful evidence. The team agreed that reliability and transparent communication should guide the decision. That shared priority became the common ground for the mediation.

A trial agreement

If the team paused new traffic and monitored the error rate, it could preserve evidence without expanding the impact. Could we use this limited rollout for one release and review it after the incident? The group accepted the proposal because it balanced recovery speed and observability. The incident commander recorded the agreement and the review date.

Clear next steps

Ana will update the stakeholders, and Bruno will confirm the rollback threshold by Friday. The on-call engineer will monitor the error rate during the limited rollout. The disagreement did not disappear, but the group had a fair process for moving the service forward.
