0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a blameless postmortem within a week of the incident, rather than letting details fade before anyone's actually written them down.'
We 'hold a postmortem' — the standard, simple collocation for running an incident review meeting. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'A postmortem with no assigned action items can ___ the same root cause recurring next quarter nobody's actually fixed.'
We say an action-less postmortem will 'leave' the root cause recurring — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting repeat incident. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a clear timeline of events before the meeting, rather than reconstructing the incident live with nobody's notes actually matching.'
We 'build a timeline' — the standard, simple collocation for reconstructing an incident's sequence of events. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every action item against an owner and a due date, rather than a list nobody's actually assigned to follow up on.'
We 'assign an item' — the standard, simple collocation for giving postmortem action items an owner. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ postmortem docs publicly across engineering, rather than burying the lessons in a folder nobody actually reads.'
We 'publish docs' — the standard, simple collocation for sharing a postmortem write-up broadly. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
