Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 200

You are creating and assigning action items in a postmodern for an outage. The outage is over, but you need to address the root causes. You want to ensure that your team handles the action items quickly and efficiently. How should you assign owners and collaborators to action items?

Answer options

• A. Assign one owner for each action item and any necessary collaborators.
• B. Assign multiple owners for each item to guarantee that the team addresses items quickly.
• C. Assign collaborators but no individual owners to the items to keep the postmortem blameless.
• D. Assign the team lead as the owner for all action items because they are in charge of the SRE team.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because having one owner for each action item ensures clear accountability and responsibility, allowing for efficient handling of tasks. Option B is incorrect as multiple owners can create confusion and dilute accountability. Option C does not provide individual ownership, which can lead to lack of initiative. Option D places too much responsibility on the team lead, which may overwhelm them and hinder effective progress on the action items.
