Why teams use this template
Single-incident escalation handling: intake, severity-driven branching, root cause, action plan, and senior sign-off (with signature on Critical). When this work runs through inboxes and ad-hoc spreadsheets, ownership gets fuzzy and evidence gets lost. Escalation Review gives you a 6-step process with 2 checkpoints so nothing slips between handoffs.
Built for teams led by On-call Engineer and Operations Manager: every task has a named owner, every approval routes to a real role, and the run history is the audit trail your auditors actually want.
The checkpoint tasks ("Escalation intake" and "Triage & severity") cannot be skipped, they're where the run produces evidence the next stage depends on. You start with structure instead of building it from scratch every time.
