Blameless post-mortems

A post-mortem is blameless when it focuses on how the system let humans make the mistake, not on the humans. Engineers act in good faith with the information they have. The goal of the document is to make the system safer for the next person — not to find someone to punish. For a deeper treatment, the Google SRE book post-mortem chapter is the canonical reference.
