Operations Command Center
Crisis Mode
Something broke. Conversion collapsed, SLAs are blown, incident backlog spiked. The rules engine lights up.
Built for C-level leadership
This dashboard illustrates how I approach operations as a Senior IT Director. It consolidates the signals a CEO, COO or CTO needs to stay informed and make decisions — IT operations health, delivery portfolio, and commercial efficiency — and pairs every metric with a clear recommended action. The goal is not to produce more reports, but to shorten the distance between data and a well-reasoned decision.
Use the scenario switch above to see how the system reacts to Normal, Crisis and Growth operating states.

Impact: Cut MTTR ~40% on correlated incidents; clear exec comms lineEffort: lowOwner: Incident Commander / IT Ops Lead - 2
Open a Problem record and assign a Problem Manager
highRepeated incidents with similar symptoms point to a root cause that Incident Mgmt alone cannot fix.
Impact: Stops recurrence; removes 25–40% of future ticket volumeEffort: mediumOwner: Problem Manager - 3
Tighten CAB gate: mandatory rollback test + peer review on all normal changes
mediumFailed changes are preventable; most trace back to untested rollback paths.
Impact: Reduce change failure rate below 2% (DORA benchmark: elite)Effort: lowOwner: Change Manager - 4
Reallocate 2 Tier-3 agents to Tier-1 for 48h; spin up overflow queue
highTier-3 capacity has slack; Tier-1 is the bottleneck driving the breach.
Impact: Restore SLA within 24h, protect CSATEffort: lowOwner: Service Desk Manager - 5
Publish top-5 knowledge articles covering 60% of current ticket drivers
mediumHigh-volume ticket drivers are repeatable and deflectable with proper self-service.

Swarm review on top-5 ticket categories today — are they symptoms of one root cause?
mediumVolume spikes without severity often mean an underlying issue users are routing around.
Impact: Catch a P2 before it becomes a P1Effort: lowOwner: IT Ops / Problem Manager - 8
Same-day diagnostic on proposal-stage objections (pricing, legal, scope)
highAbandonment spiked at the commercial hand-off — often a contract or pricing friction, not product fit.

Trigger win-back campaign on top-50 dormant accounts
highReacquisition is 5× cheaper than net-new at this pipeline stage.
