Post-Implementation Reviews (PIRs) allow companies to discuss and learn from their mistakes, so they will not repeat them. During and after the deployment process, users can raise incidents (PIR Items) for Releases and use them to discuss:
- What they can do to prevent the incident from happening again.
- What actions can be performed to fix the incident.
- The underlying issue or root cause of the incident.
- The impacts of the incident, now and in the future.
PIRs act as a container for their PIR Items.
On the PIR Manager page, users can:
- View, search and filter: See below.
- Add and edit PIRs.
- Add and edit PIR items.
