How can we measure the success of incident reviews?

Measuring the success of incident reviews can involve several key metrics, such as the reduction in incident recurrence, the time taken to resolve incidents, and stakeholder satisfaction with the review process.

What specific metrics should I focus on?

You should focus on metrics like Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR), the number of incidents over time, and the percentage of incidents that lead to actionable improvements.

How often should we conduct these reviews?

It's recommended to conduct incident reviews after every significant incident, but you can also schedule regular reviews, such as quarterly, to assess trends and improvements.

Can you suggest best practices for conducting these reviews?

Certainly! Best practices include involving all relevant stakeholders, documenting findings thoroughly, and ensuring follow-up on action items to prevent future incidents.
