Incident postmortem and improvement actions

Create incident postmortems free online with impact, response timelines and corrective actions. Review evidence, separate hypotheses and confirm owners before exporting.

How to use

  1. Record the incident date, severity, impact, detection, and recovery.
  2. Describe root and contributing system conditions; use the five whys to examine causal chains.
  3. Add timestamped events and corrective actions with clear owners and due dates.
  4. Review the Markdown report, confirm impact estimates and timezone details, then download it.

Try an example

Order the timeline from alert through responder arrival, mitigation, and recovery. Phrase corrective actions with a concrete verb, owner, and completion date.

Limits and privacy

Users provide all facts. The tool does not connect to monitoring, tickets, or logs, validate impact estimates, or create engineering tasks. Do not expose personal data, tokens, or customer secrets in a report.

Common questions

Must I fill all five whys?

No. The prompts help explore causes. Stop when the evidence supports a system-level explanation.

Are corrective actions synced to a task system?

No. After exporting, create and track work items in your team’s issue or project system.

Free use and requirements

Use the local functions for free without a KitNelo account. Optional Gemini generation sends the supplied text to Google and requires a configured server API key; provider fees and quotas can apply.

Use verified evidence and distinguish causes from hypotheses. The tool does not inspect production systems.

Free online functions: steps and checks

Create an Incident Postmortem Report for Free

Enter the incident impact, detection, response and contributing factors to organize a postmortem. Support conclusions with verified evidence and label unresolved hypotheses clearly; the builder does not inspect production systems or establish a cause on its own.

Record an Outage Response Timeline for Free

Add the sequence of detection, investigation, mitigation and recovery events from your incident records. Check timestamps and event ordering against the source evidence so the timeline shows what responders knew and did at each stage.

Track Incident Improvement Actions for Free

Write corrective actions with an owner and deadline for each improvement identified in the review. Check that the action addresses an observed failure mode and has a clear completion condition before exporting the follow-up list.
