Flexible Rotation Schedules

Daily, weekly, follow-the-sun, split-shift: your call

No rigid templates. Nova's schedule builder supports any rotation pattern your team uses: weekly hand-offs, 12-hour split shifts, timezone-aware follow-the-sun, or tiered primary/secondary coverage. Set business-hours vs. after-hours rules per service, your payment service can have tighter coverage than your internal tooling.

  • Visual schedule builder: drag engineers into time blocks with a calendar interface, no YAML required
  • Multi-layer coverage: define primary, secondary, and tertiary responders per schedule layer
  • Timezone intelligence: rotations auto-adjust for DST and engineer location; nobody gets paged outside their hours

Smart Escalation Policies

Alerts find the right person. Always. Without manual intervention.

When an alert fires, Nova routes it to the primary on-call. No acknowledgment in your defined window? It escalates to secondary, then to the team lead, then to the VP, with each step configurable per severity level. SEV-1s can go from alert to VP notification in under 3 minutes if needed, automatically.

  • Per-severity escalation paths: SEV-1 and SEV-2 can have completely different escalation chains
  • Acknowledgment timeouts: configurable windows per policy; 5 minutes for critical, 30 for low-severity
  • Service ownership routing: alerts automatically route to the team that owns the affected service, not alphabetical order

Override & Swap Management

Shift swaps in seconds, not Slack threads

Engineers can request overrides, swap shifts, and flag unavailability directly in Nova, no manager approval needed for standard swaps. The system automatically finds the next available engineer in the rotation. Managers see a complete audit trail and can approve exceptions when needed.

  • Self-service overrides: engineers claim or swap shifts without back-and-forth in Slack
  • Availability blocking: mark PTO, conferences, and travel so Nova never routes alerts to unavailable engineers
  • Mobile app notifications: shift reminders, swap requests, and schedule changes pushed to iOS and Android

On-Call Analytics & Burnout Prevention

Data to prove your team is getting paged too much: and fix it

Nova tracks pages-per-engineer, alert volume by hour, acknowledgment time, and incident resolution time per on-call shift. When one engineer is handling 3x the incident load of their peers, Nova surfaces it. Bring the data to your next planning meeting and make the case for fair rotation coverage.

  • Per-engineer page volume: see who's bearing disproportionate on-call load over any date range
  • Sleep-hour interruption tracking: measure how often engineers are paged outside business hours and by how much
  • Noisy alert identification: pinpoint which alerts trigger most frequently and whether they're actionable or noise
