Transform incident retrospectives into completed preventative actions. DoneIsGood links Post-Incident Reviews (PIR) and 5 Whys root cause analysis directly to active engineering tasks.
In most IT operations and software engineering teams, the real failure occurs after an outage is mitigated. Teams rush through an incident review, draft a post-mortem document in a wiki or shared drive, and file it away. The corrective actions ("Action Items") identified in the meeting never get scheduled into an actual sprint backlog or assigned with clear ownership. Six months later, the exact same system failure happens again.
DoneIsGood eliminates this disconnect by linking the Post-Incident Review document directly to live, trackable remediation tasks. The PIR report sits side-by-side with verified action items, ensuring fixes are implemented, tested, and tracked to completion.
Turn post-incident retrospectives into tangible system improvements. With DoneIsGood's dual-pane document view, the post-mortem analysis document is displayed on the left while corrective remediation tasks are tracked on the right. Ticking off a checklist step in your engineering backlog automatically marks the PIR action item as complete.
When an active incident strikes, engineers shouldn't have to search through static documentation to remember emergency procedures. Spawning a pre-approved Incident Runbook creates an active incident task pre-loaded with step-by-step triage actions: establishing war room communication, switching to failover read replicas, and drafting customer status updates.
PIR action items often fail to get done because they compete with new feature requests. Using DoneIsGood's Planning Studio, tech leads allocate explicit cognitive hour budgets for reliability and technical debt. Triage corrective actions alongside product backlog items using MoSCoW prioritization (Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, Won't Have) to protect engineering time.
Software developers frequently use AI coding tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, and Gemini. DoneIsGood provides a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets coding agents interact with tasks, but with strict enterprise protections:
