I've seen "postmortem" used frequently for project wrap-up meetings. I try to suggest "postpartum" as an alternative.
Occasionally I've been shot down because "postpartum" is linked to postpartum depression, and so it's not a very positive term to use. Instead we keep using the apparently more-positive "postmortem".

- enraged_camel 10y agoYeah, using "postmortem" as project wrap-up is definitely inaccurate, unless the project failed. We use the term "retrospective" to discuss things like lessons learned etc.

- infectoid 10y agoWhat about a good ol' retrospective?!
