Post mortems are everything! I always use a robust post mortem procedure to find out what went wrong, why, and how we can do better next time. This has resulted in better responses, faster response times, and lower reach on social media. Post mortems also need to include all stakeholders involved to help encourage cross-team participation. To respond to a crisis quickly, stakeholder buy-in and trust are key, especially when the situation is urgent.
