Blameless Postmortems

This lesson provides you with an introduction to Blameless Postmortems. In Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Blameless Postmortems are a retrospective meeting whose goal is to recap and analyze a significant service failure. It provides an open forum where everyone can ask questions, share their experience, and gain a clear understanding of exactly what happened, and ultimately how to help prevent or reduce similar incidents from happening again.
