What is a scheduling rotation in PagerDuty?

A scheduling rotation in PagerDuty refers specifically to how on-call duties are assigned. This system is designed to ensure that responsibility for handling incidents or alerts is evenly distributed among team members over a set time period. The rotation typically dictates which team member is on call at any given time, allowing for a structured approach to incident response and ensuring that no single member is overwhelmed with continuous on-call duties.

This concept is critical for operational efficiency and maintaining a work-life balance, as it ensures fairness and predictability in on-call expectations.

The other options do not align with the concept of a scheduling rotation as defined in PagerDuty. While days off, team meetings, and training timelines are all important aspects of team management, they do not pertain to the systematic assignment of on-call duties that a scheduling rotation embodies.
