Postmortem - CI/CD Glossary Definition

A postmortem is a written review after an incident that records what happened, the timeline, the impact, the root causes, and the follow-up actions. Blameless postmortems focus on systems and process rather than individuals.

Why blameless

Removing blame encourages honest reporting, which surfaces the real contributing factors and produces durable fixes instead of fear.
