I think "post-mortem" is over used, but it's HN-speak.

- sp332 13y agoIt's not HN-speak. A "post-mortem" can be a scheduled part of development, even if a project succeeds. It's just a review after the project (or milestone) is declared complete. It's for finding lessons to apply to future projects, since it's too late for the current project :)
