Postmortem Practices

The plan was as follows for postmortem:#

  • Be mostly completed prior to the meeting.
  • Identify the root cause (and the probability and effect of recurrence).
  • Propose at least one action item for fixing the root cause (and estimate effort).
  • Propose at least one action item for escape prevention (and estimate effort).
  • Propose at least one action item for detection (and estimate effort).
  • Each action item must be addressable in the short term (i.e. NO half-year projects)
  • Action items must be within the owner's sphere of control.
  • Each action item must have an assigned individual owner (i.e. no generic ownership)
