I don't a the problem with this communication, except they just shouldn't call it a "postmortem".
In a medical setting this is equivalent to saying "the patient was coughing up blood, and now they're dead". It's relaying some potentially useful info, and I guess it's _technically_ a post-mortem analysis but it doesn't fit expectations for the phrase!
- tomas789 3y agoIt is an industry standard word by now.
- mbel 3y agoStandard word which implies some level of analysis into causes of the incident. This brief note doesn’t live up to industry practice either.
- prmoustache 3y agoThe standard imply analysis and measures taken for similar issues to not happen.

- bjackman 3y agoYeah that's what I'm referring to. This isn't a postmortem as described in that book! This is just "it was broken, and then we fixed it". Which is fine, it's good to acknowledge that. Just don't call it a PM!
