Enjoy better postmortems with Jira Ops' newest feature

This week we’re thrilled to announce our biggest new feature since we launched Jira Ops: Postmortems.

Teams typically prepare a postmortem document with a blameless discussion on the contributing factors behind the incident. But we know that manually creating the postmortem documentation can be a hassle and easy to forget.

In Jira Ops, you’re now prompted to create a postmortem document in Confluence when your incident is created. The postmortem template contains the key areas that ensure all aspects of the incident are analyzed and understood:

  • Summary – an overview of the incident, including key details copied from the Jira ticket

  • Timeline – key events during the incident, using the Jira Ops timeline (more on this below)

  • Analysis – covers each stage of the incident: lead-up, fault, customer impact, detection, response, recovery, and recurrence.

  • Root causes – the underlying causes of the incident, often determined by a Five Whys exercise

  • Lessons learned – what the team identified they should do differently next time

  • Actions – links to remedial tasks in Jira, to address the root causes and lessons from this incident.

The incident timeline is automatically included as a macro in the postmortem Confluence page. The timeline provides exact timestamps for all the important events in the incident.

Hi,

I have created 2 postmortems but can't see the Timeline. All I see is this:

We couldn't load your timeline

If this page doesn't reload automatically, try loading it again.

Clicking on "Try again" does nothing. Any idea what might be wrong?

Regards,
Alari

@Alari Keedus the timeline shows now. Guess the feature was still undergoing some final testing by Atlassian
