Post-Mortem

Review a completed session or task to assess how it went and extract improvements. This covers both "how did we do" evaluation and "what can we learn" investigation.

When to Use

After completing any non-trivial task or session. The goal is continuous improvement:

• Routine review: How smooth was execution? Where did friction occur?
• Problem sessions: Things took longer than expected, multiple corrections needed
• Bug fixes: What caused it and what would prevent it next time?
• New patterns: Something worked well that should be codified
