Postmortem
A "Postmortem" is an examination conducted after a person's death to determine the cause and manner of death. This process is typically performed by a forensic pathologist and may involve an autopsy, which includes a thorough inspection of the body and any relevant medical history. The findings can provide crucial information for legal investigations, public health, and family closure.
In addition to medical contexts, the term "postmortem" is also used in project management and business. Here, it refers to a review conducted after a project or event to analyze what went well and what could be improved. This helps teams learn from their experiences and enhance future performance.
