+# How Learning is Different Than Fixing

+## 简介
+
+> A key idea here is that rather than focusing on simply focusing on identifying fixes for parts involved in the event and instead focusing on developing a richer understanding of the event, a much greater ROI the effort will result, and that will include more effective “fixes” and more.

+## 正文
+
+I was honored to present a talk at the [AllTheTalks conference](https://www.allthetalks.org/) a few weeks back.
+
+*tl;dr: slides are [here](https://speakerdeck.com/jallspaw/incident-analysis-how-star-learning-star-is-different-than-star-fixing-star), video is below*
+
+The topic was *incident analysis* (big surprise there!) and the notion of *learning* and *fixing,* and how these activities are related but not the same.
+
+A key idea here is that rather than focusing on simply focusing on identifying *fixes* for parts involved in the event and instead focusing on developing a richer understanding of the event, a much greater ROI the effort will result, and that will include more effective “fixes” and more.
+
+By a “richer understanding” I mean facets and elements of the incident that include:
+
+- the **origins** of the event
+- the **history** of other relevant projects or incidents in the past
+- what was **difficult** for people attempting to understand what was happening
+- **where** the event came from,
+- the **scope** of what they understood
+- what **mattered** about the event at the time
+
+you’ll have a better shot at capturing what is *interesting* for those who:
+
+- were ***not*** there at the time,
+- who ***were*** there at the time but will want to revisit details that they’ve forgotten about it sometime in the future, and
+- who might not even work at the company yet.
+
+Here is the ~30 minute talk, with the amazing [Sasha Rosenbaum](https://twitter.com/DivineOps) as my host! I’ve included an interactive transcript as well.
