The original title is "Post-Mortem Best Practices That Actually Drive Change" which is vague and doesn't include key facts from the summary.

Short summary

Post-mortems frequently fail because action items lack clear ownership and accountability—only 30% complete industry-wide. The author proposes three practical rules: cap action items at 3 per post-mortem, tie each to the next sprint's JIRA board (not someday backlog), and review completion status in the next incident meeting. Data validates the approach: one team reduced repeat incidents from 45% to 12% within six months using this system.

• •Action items without accountability fail—only 30% completion industry-wide

• •Measurable results: repeat incident rate dropped from 45% to 12% in six months
