Postmortem and Action-Item Tracking for a 3-Service Outage
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Postmortem and Action-Item Tracking for a 3-Service Outage. Intermediate challenge in analysis. Analyzing real datasets and building models that drive decisi...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Rewrite a blame-tinged postmortem to blameless standards, salvage its 9 stuck action items, and install a postmortem-follow-through system the team will actually honor.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Rewrite a blame-tinged postmortem to blameless evidence-based standards
- Triage action items with kill / split / assign criteria
- Design a follow-through system so action items don't decay
- Communicate postmortem culture changes to a sceptical engineering team
