🍕 Domino's serves up better software with Compass

When every minute of downtime affects sales, clear ownership, and standardization matter. Learn how Domino's reduced incident response times by consolidating system information and establishing clear ownership across teams with Compass. Watch the session.

✅ Demo: Use scorecards to achieve uptime and runbook requirements

Want to ensure all Tier 1 services have both an incident response runbook and 99.9% uptime? Now you can build sophisticated scorecards that match your exact needs:

• Adjustable thresholds: Set custom pass/fail criteria [Example: "passing" requires 99.9% uptime for production services in one scorecard, but 95% for development in another]

• Smart filters: Target components by any custom field [Example: apply stricter standards to customer-facing services]

• Regex validation: Enforce naming conventions and required documentation patterns

Get started in minutes:

1. 💻 Navigate to Scorecards in your Compass Health UI

2. ✏️ Create a new scorecard or edit an existing one

3. 🎯 Set custom thresholds under "Success Criteria"

4. 🔍 Add filters and regex patterns

📈 Scorecards drive better engineering standards

Check out our latest scorecard enhancements that help teams measure and improve software health with a wide range of use cases. Want a scorecard that tracks SLA breaches? Compass scorecards have you covered:

🗣️ Compass now speaks JQL
