In an environment with a large pool of incidents to monitor, shared by multiple groups
of operators, you can divide the incidents into smaller pools called profiles, and assign
them to different groups, so each group only needs to focus on a small number of incidents,
while allowing the groups to take up each other's workload whenever one of them has a
shortfall.
