Why is this called a “postmortem” when it seems like it was very successful?
I have observed the term “postmortem” to suffer from some semantic slippage, and is sometimes used to mean something similar to “retrospective”.
I had the same impression as evhub and would strongly favor calling it retrospective or just summary.
There seems to be a bit of pushback against “postmortem” and our team is ambivalent, so I changed to “retrospective.”
