Practise the standard verbs for handing off an on-call rotation smoothly.

1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a handoff summary at the end of every on-call shift, rather than leaving the next engineer with no actual context on open issues.'
We 'write a summary' — the standard, simple collocation for documenting an on-call handoff. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'A missed handoff summary can ___ the incoming on-call engineer blindsided by an alert nobody actually warned them about.'
We say a missed summary will 'leave' the next engineer blindsided — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting gap. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ open incidents explicitly during the handoff call, rather than a Slack message nobody's actually confirmed was read.'
We 'flag incidents' — the standard, simple collocation for calling out ongoing issues during handoff. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the new on-call engineer's paging setup before the shift starts, rather than discovering a broken alert route nobody's actually tested.'
We 'confirm a setup' — the standard, simple collocation for verifying paging is working before a shift begins. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ rotation schedules two weeks ahead in the paging tool, rather than a swap nobody's actually updated in the system.'
We 'update schedules' — the standard, simple collocation for keeping an on-call rotation current. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
