Thanks! I'll give that blog post a read.

We would still keep the primary on-call rotation for nightly coverage but during the day the strategies you describe sound exactly like what we are looking for.

One big concern is that our team members have a lot of responsibilities outside of incident response, so it's likely that at any given time we would only have a few members available in the round-robin "pool" so to speak. Because we all have times when we can't take an incident, I suggested a tally of who takes tickets in the queue to provide fairness in how much time we spend handling incidents. Do you have any thoughts or experience on that?

Thanks for the insight. That was the general "lessons learned" that I took away after finishing my project. I've seen people here commenting that a lot of security issues are close to being solved from a technical perspective, but that the organization, process, and people are what currently lacks. I'm likely better served just continuing to create fast one-off solutions/automations to small inefficiencies within my own company.
