Success MeasuresIn your first year you will have successfully handled at least ten long-running escalations and received positive feedback on them, documented escalation procedures, developed a list of Subject-Matter-Experts (SMEs) to engage in escalations related to specific product areas. After major escalations, you will run a “post-mortem” review of the escalation to document what we learned and to make ongoing suggestions for improving our related processes, documents, and tools.
