Why is Post-mortem needed?
Whether a company is small or large, problems always occur. When a problem occurs, the cause must be identified and preparation measures must be taken to prevent the same problem from occurring again.
It is not important to reprimand the person responsible. You must find the cause of the problem and prepare countermeasures to prevent the same problem from occurring again. When individuals are blamed, each organization and individual acts to avoid blame and no longer shares the problem.
Through post-mortem, you can identify the cause of the problem and prepare countermeasures to prevent the same problem from occurring again.
By analyzing what went wrong and what went well, you can avoid repeating what went wrong and continue doing what went well.
By examining the cause of the accident, occurrence process, response process, etc. through time analysis (timeline), the root cause is found, not a temporary solution.
