About this collection
Engineering managers do a lot more than plan deployments. In an increasingly competitive market, companies must produce software with the highest quality and lowest cost in the shortest amount of time. Managers not only have to keep track of long-term milestones, but they also need to immediately respond to performance spikes and outages. Use our collection of templates to keep track of software development while working smartly with your team.

Incident postmortem
Record an incident’s cause and impact to reduce the likelihood of future incidents.
Step 5. Learn from results
Even the best plans don’t end up with perfect results. After you resolve an incident, work with your engineering team to complete the incident postmortem template. By identifying patterns and causes, you’ll be able to strategically plan software updates to prevent future issues.
