Incident analysis

by Alejandro Fernández (Freelance)

Our website is down! Customers are complaining! The sky is falling on our heads! What can we do to improve the situation? If we are managing a team, should we start cutting off heads? Otherwise, should we start looking for a new job? Do not despair; we are not alone, we have many decades of incident analysis behind us. In this talk we will explain several techniques that may help us face the situation: root-cause analysis, the five whys and blameless postmortems. We will also review some leadership attitudes and how they affect future incident response. Finally, we will briefly analyze a couple of real catastrophes from recent history that will give us a fresh perspective on incident analysis.
