SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams produce consistent, blameless incident postmortems following Google SRE style, turning raw incident notes into a structured report with clear RCA, impact, and remediation plans.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Blameless 5 Whys RCA: Guides teams through five why questions to identify systemic root causes.
  • Timeline & Acknowledgements: Generates a minute-by-minute incident timeline and status updates.
  • Impact & Metrics: Quantifies user impact, downtime, and SLA effects to support accountability and learning.
  • Action Items & Ownership: Produces concrete, assignable remediation tasks with owners and due dates.
  • Templates & Validation: Includes a ready-to-use postmortem template, review checklists, and a blameless language policy to ensure safety and clarity.
  • Verification & Quality: Provides a built-in verification checklist and edge-case considerations to improve reliability of runbooks.

Quick Start

Provide the incident data (timestamps, events, and notes) to generate a complete, ready-to-publish blameless postmortem including the timeline, 5 Whys, impact analysis, and action items.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a blameless postmortem report for a production incident?

To generate a blameless postmortem report, provide your raw incident data including timestamps, events, and notes. The system converts this input into a structured report featuring a minute-by-minute timeline, 5 Whys root cause analysis, impact metrics, and assignable action items.

What is a blameless postmortem and how does the 5 Whys root cause analysis work?

A blameless postmortem focuses on systemic issues rather than individual mistakes. The 5 Whys root cause analysis guides teams through five iterative questions to identify the underlying systemic causes of an incident, ensuring the report promotes learning and accountability safely.

Can I standardize incident postmortems across multiple teams using a template?

Yes, you can standardize incident postmortems across teams using a built-in template. It enforces required fields like 5 Whys, timeline, impact, owners, and acceptance criteria, while applying a blameless language policy and a verification checklist to ensure consistent quality.

What incident data do I need to prepare before creating a postmortem?

Before creating a postmortem, you need to collect raw incident data such as timestamps, event logs, and response notes. This information is required to populate the timeline, quantify user impact and downtime, and determine the systemic root causes.

Does the postmortem process quantify SLA impact and downtime metrics?

Yes, the postmortem process explicitly quantifies SLA impact and downtime metrics. It analyzes the provided incident data to measure user impact and SLA effects, supporting accountability and creating a clear record for future learning.

What is the best way to track remediation action items after an outage?

The best way to track remediation action items is to generate concrete, assignable tasks with designated owners and due dates. The postmortem output includes specific remediation items with acceptance criteria, ensuring accountability for resolving the identified systemic root causes.
