Post Mortems

  • Artigo

One of my pet peeves is that after we ship something we normally have a Post Mortem meeting to discuss what we should learn from the experience.  I'm not against the meeting.  I think they're great and we learn a lot.  Sometimes we even have pizza!  What bugs me is the name Post Mortem.  This suggests something just died and we're getting together to figure out why.  Come on!  We just shipped a great product that we spent years of our life developing.  Nothing died - something was born!  After our next release, I'm scheduling a Postpartum review!
