Instrumental

@EB has decided to cease the development of @Instrumental. The Instrumental application, servers, and APIs have been shut down. Thank you for your business and incredible feedback over the years. We’ll miss being your monitoring partner and wish you continued success.

Schedule Important Work First. This is the second core philosophy behind Burndown, @eb's upcoming project managent system (internal only for now, let us know if you want to try it too). expectedbehavior.com/building-burnd…

Normal operations have been restored.

We are experiencing a data processing issue with some of our systems. No data is being lost, and metrics should catch up and resume normal operation shortly.
