# Blameless Postmortem
2
3
Most postmortems fail in one of two ways: they name a person, or they end in a list of
4
actions with no owner that nobody does. This workflow builds the timeline from evidence
5
rather than memory, looks for the conditions that made the failure possible instead of
6
the individual who tripped over them, and produces actions that are specific enough to
7
be finished.

## When to use
10
11
- After any incident with customer impact, once the fire is out.
12
- After a near miss, which is a free lesson.
13
- When an incident recurs, since a recurrence means the last postmortem missed something.
