Monthly Ops Review Checklist

Date: YYYY-MM-DD

Open Remediations

  • Review all postmortems from the last 30 days
  • Check status of every remediation marked TODO or IN PROGRESS
  • Update statuses (DONE / WONTFIX with reason / new deadline)
  • Carry forward anything overdue with a realistic new deadline

Pattern Spotting

  • Any recurring tags across recent incidents? (e.g., three incidents in two months = systemic issue)
  • Any recurring contributing factors? (e.g., "no alerting" showing repeatedly = need to prioritize monitoring)
  • Any services with multiple incidents? (consider deeper investment)

Runbook & Checklist Hygiene

  • Were any runbooks used this month? Were they accurate?
  • Update any runbooks that were wrong or incomplete
  • Do any new common tasks need a runbook?

Quick Wins

  • One thing I can improve in the next hour based on this review (write it down and do it now)
