Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business PagerDuty, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in May 2010. PagerDuty acts as the central nervous system for the digital enterprise. PagerDuty harnesses digital signals from virtually any software-enabled system or device, combines it with human response data and orchestrates teams to take the right actions in real time. The Company’s products help organizations improve operations, accelerate innovation, increase revenue, mitigate security risk, and deliver a great customer experience. As used herein, “PagerDuty”, “we”, “our”, “the Company” and similar terms include PagerDuty, Inc., unless the context indicates otherwise. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of PagerDuty, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and statements of stockholders’ equity. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending January 31, 2022 or for any other interim period, or for any future year. The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2022, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve the fair value of stock awards, period of benefit for amortizing deferred contract costs, the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the provision for income taxes, including the related valuation allowance and any uncertain tax positions, fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities, and estimates related to our revenue recognition, such as the assessment of performance obligations in our revenue arrangements and the fair value assigned to each performance obligation, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. In December 2019, the novel coronavirus and resulting disease (“COVID-19”) was reported and in March 2020 the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the condensed consolidated financial statements during the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our assumptions and estimates may change materially in future periods.
