Postmortem Framework

Postmortem Framework Incidents are inevitable — learning from them is optional. This framework provides blameless postmortem templates, structured root cause analysis methods (5 Whys, Fishbone, Fault Tree), action item tracking with ownership and deadlines, and trend analysis dashboards that surface systemic patterns across incidents. Stop repeating the same failures and start building a genuine learning culture. Key Features Blameless postmortem template — Structured Markdown template covering timeline, impact, root cause, action items, and lessons learned Root cause analysis toolkit — Guided worksheets for 5 Whys, Ishikawa (Fishbone), and Fault Tree Analysis methods Action item tracker — YAML-based tracking with assignee, priority, deadline, and completion status Trend analysis queries — Prometheus and Grafana configs to track incident frequency, MTTR, and category distributions Severity classification guide — Decision tree for consistently classifying SEV1 through SEV4 Facilitator's
