Risk Management
Find what could go wrong early enough to do something about it.
How to use
/risk-managementApply risk management constraints to this conversation./risk-management <initiative>Identify and assess risks for the described initiative.
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.
Risk Assessment
- MUST score each risk on probability (1-5) and impact (1-5)
