--explanation--

While can be used to contrast two ideas. It works like even though or although to show that both things happened at the same time. For example:

While the design looked good, the app didn't work properly. – This means the design was nice, but there was a problem with how the app functioned.

In this case, there were a positive (the team's quick response) and a negative (confusion about responsibilities) aspects about the incident. While is used to contrast both.
