- b0afc375b5 6y agoWhat is the difference between the two? I tried searching for 'post mortem vs incident analysis' but couldn't find anything.
- gojomo 6y agoSome org might have decreed internal fine distinctions, but in common parlance, both terms are used for the same kind of after-event writeups.
- ph0rque 6y agoWell, post mortem means "after death" in Latin. So it would seem the difference is, one can recover from an incident...
- gregoda 6y agoI'd tend to think that 'post-mortem' translates (in common usage) more accurately as 'after termination' -- a process performed at the completion of some other process. It's really a good idea to do post-mortems on successes as well as failures.
- papito 6y agoPost-mortem is just a gruesome term.
- gojomo 6y agoIn this domain, the two terms are synonyms. And neither "post-mortem" nor "incident report" appear on the log page, making either an equally fair synthesized title.
