What are we looking for?

Managing PTO and vacation time in on-call workflows can lead to coverage issues, particularly when team sizes are small. Ensuring adequate coverage during local and global holidays can be complex, often requiring shifts to be swapped, which can disrupt team balance. Handling on-call duties during these periods may strain the available staff, potentially leading to fatigue and decreased effectiveness. Coordination and planning become crucial to maintain service reliability and avoid burnout.
