Most of us write incident reviews (IRs) or postmortems occasionally. Unfortunately, many IRs are never read by anyone other than those involved in the incident, and therefore have limited benefit to an organisation.
However, IRs that are well-crafted can create learning that will last in your organisation for years (and maybe even beyond). This talk will give practical advice on how to write the most engaging and valuable IR possible.
