When did we start calling every "what happened" analysis a "post-mortem" and how can I convince everyone that it's not ok? Here are some better options:
- root cause analysis
- post-flight inspection
- what the heck just happened meeting
- root cause analysis
- post-flight inspection
- what the heck just happened meeting

@monsieuricon in the Army it was “after action report,” which is pretty good.

@monsieuricon I used to work for an org that had a "hindsight" group that met (with invited guests depending on the nature of the incident) to establish what went wrong, but more importantly, focus on what could be done better in the future.

@monsieuricon I agree “post-mortem” is terrible terminology for analysis of what happened, even if there was an actual death involved. I prefer to use “lessons learned” in the subject when scheduling meetings because it doesn’t suggest focusing only or primarily on the negative aspects.

@monsieuricon Just wanted to be the tenth person to point out that it is all the coroner's fault. ;-)

@paulmckrcu Are you saying it's another example of a ... coroner case that becomes the new normal?
