Incident Post-Mortem
Purpose
To turn production failures into high-value institutional knowledge and system reliability.
The Process
- Timeline: Exact sequence of events leading to the failure.
- Detection: How was it found? (Alert vs. User report).
- Impact: How many users? What loss?
- Root Cause: The Five Whys (Blameless analysis).
- Action Items: Specific, assigned tasks to prevent this specific failure again.
Rules
- Blameless Culture: Focus on system failure, not human error.
- Be honest about gaps in monitoring or alerts.
