Sonja Blignaut is a complexity expert. That might not sound relevant to incident response in reliability engineering. But it is!

Our systems are becoming more complex and so are the resulting incidents.

Learning about complexity can help reliability folk go into an incident with less anxiety, which we’ll explore in this episode.

We'll explore the causes of complexity in incidents and how the Cynefin framework classifies incidents.

We'll also deep dive into the concept of complexity itself and dispel a common issue where it gets mixed up with complicatedness.
