Pre-mortem

In engineering and project management there’s something called a pre-mortem: a post-mortem done in advance. A pre-mortem is where you say, “this project was a disaster, now what went wrong and how do we fix it?” (Before you've done anything). Then you prophylactically fix all the problems you can think of, before you've done anything else. It doesn't stop the completely unexpected, but it does reduces the count, builds contingencies, and lets more voices be heard up-front (buy-in). ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2019-03-09

You can’t do this with people who want to deny that things go wrong, so it (and accountability) have fallen out of favor with the rise of progressivism and millennials, but hopefully it'll make a comeback.
