    Definition

    What is Post-incident review?

    A post-incident review is a structured meeting and write-up after an incident that explains what happened, why, and what will change so it does not happen again.

    The review rebuilds the timeline, identifies the contributing causes and agrees follow-up actions with owners and dates. It is written down so people who were not there can learn from it.

    The best reviews are blameless: they ask how the system allowed the failure rather than who made a mistake, because people share what really happened only when it is safe to do so.

    Atlas keeps the review with the incident it explains, and turns its actions into tasks so they are tracked to completion like any other work.

    FAQ

    Questions, answered.

    When should a post-incident review happen?
    Within a few working days of resolution, while memories are fresh, and for every incident above an agreed severity.
    What does blameless mean?
    It means the review looks for causes in systems, processes and tools rather than blaming individuals, so people describe events honestly.
