Ask HN: Does your company track bugs shipped by team?

Severity is also tracked, as a grammar error is not as bad as blue screen.

This should be used to identify where more resources need to go to prevent future problems. If it is used to punish then you will get other issues of the blame game.

But if it's an "incident", IMHO, it is worth to track. So that you can see how much revenue loss due to those incidents, Is there customers affected, and which team/service are responsible for. And if it happens too often, the question goes to team manager, is the timeline too tight, do they sacrifice quality for shipping fast? any internal issues in team. or maybe it's a department issues, maybe not a team-level issues.

The more incidents we have, the more revenue we lose, and the more we damage customer trust.
