pre-mortem
byelliotjlt· 39 skills
Before starting ANY significant task (feature build, refactor, integration, migration, or architectural change), first imagine the project has failed. Generate 3-5 specific failure scenarios, assess risk levels, identify mitigations, then adjust the implementation plan to address high-risk items FIRST. Do not start coding until the pre-mortem is acknowledged.
