MTTR, or mean time to resolve, is an important key performance indicator for incident response teams to track, but it’s rarely useful for technological stakeholders or customers. To really make use of the data at their disposal, decision-makers must tailor the info they provide—and understand the scope and granularity of the data they have when they deploy an AIOps platform like ours. That’s the gist of our latest Real Talk webinar on analytics and reporting maturity.
