counting bugs & service incidents is an antipattern


Here is another reminder that counting service incidents or bugs and using bug counts is usually a bad idea.  As Charity said: The nines don't matter when customers are unhappy.  Service level objectives and their indicators (measurements) must map to customer delight & pain.  As Ryan Kitchens has pointed out several times, the true support of a post-incident retrospective is how many people read and find the report valuable and how much everyone  learns from the incident.
