Story
Inside Barrick Gold, incident management used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in materials groups working out of Canada. On-call rotations needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Barrick Gold uses Customer Service from PagerDuty as the working layer for on-call response. PagerDuty is an operations cloud for incident response, on-call, and event intelligence used by digital operations teams. The practical change is simple: incident management has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Barrick Gold gets from PagerDuty is a durable place to run incident management and a way for on-call rotations to see the same on-call response at the same time.
