Constraints

Risk Identification

• MUST identify risks across four categories: technical (can we build it?), market (will anyone want it?), execution (can we deliver on time?), dependency (what external factors could block us?)
• SHOULD run a pre-mortem: "It's 3 months from now and this failed. What happened?"
• MUST document risks early, not when they've already materialized
• NEVER assume everything will go according to plan. The plan is the best case.
