A structured method to surface realistic, specific failure causes before a major commitment so teams can prioritize risks and define concrete prevention actions rather than relying on overly optimistic forward planning.
Run a pre-mortem for the upcoming project with a 6-month horizon, list ranked root causes, and provide concrete prevention actions with owners and deadlines.

A pre-mortem uses prospective hindsight to place stakeholders in a future-failure scenario, bypassing optimism bias to elicit deeper root causes. It surfaces realistic, specific failure causes before a major commitment so teams can prioritize risks and define concrete prevention actions.
To run a pre-mortem, set a failure scenario with a specific horizon, generate diverse failure causes across five categories, rank them by informal impact and blindness, then convert top causes into concrete prevention actions with assigned owners and deadlines.
Conduct a pre-mortem just before a major launch, roadmap commitment, or strategic decision. Running it before major commitments surfaces overlooked risks across product roadmaps, reducing the chance of costly, avoidable failure.
During risk identification, generate causes across five distinct types: obvious causes, slow leaks, wrong assumptions, external surprises, and people or organizational issues. This ensures breadth and depth in surfacing realistic failure scenarios.
Prioritize root causes using an informal impact multiplied by blindness ranking to find the most critical risks. Convert each top-ranked cause into ownerable prevention actions with specific deadlines to ensure accountability.
Yes, pre-mortem risk identification specifically bypasses optimism bias by framing the project as already failed. This prospective hindsight approach elicits deeper root causes than standard forward planning, ensuring overlooked risks are surfaced.
