Rotation
A recurring schedule of who's on-call for a team — configured once, then run automatically.
A rotation is the backbone of on-call: a recurring schedule that decides who is responsible for responding at any given moment. It has a recurrence (weekly, biweekly, or a custom cadence), a timezone, the active days of the week, the start and end hours, and an ordered list of participants.
Rotations matter because they replace tribal knowledge — “just ping Sarah” — with something explicit, fair, and predictable. Everyone can see whose turn it is, when it changes, and when their own turn comes around again. That transparency is what keeps a rotation from breeding resentment.
In Dynaro, a rotation is configured once in the web dashboard and then runs without anyone babysitting it. One workspace can run many rotations side by side — a 24/7 production rotation, a Mon–Fri customer-success rotation, a security rotation — each with its own schedule and participants.
In practice
A 5-person engineering team runs a weekly rotation: each person is on-call Monday to Monday, the schedule repeats indefinitely, and Dynaro handles the handover every Monday morning.
