Write Postmortem

Produces a blameless postmortem within five working days of an incident being resolved.

Structure

• A timeline in UTC, from first signal to all-clear.
• Contributing factors, each with evidence.
• Action items with an owner and a date.

Pull the timeline from the incident channel export and the alert history. The export tool writes both into one file.

Follow the wording conventions in the style guide; reviewers reject drafts that name individuals.
