The Premortem Technique: Identifying Potential Problems

This chapter discusses the concept of the premortem method, a risk management technique used to reduce overconfidence and identify potential problems in a project. It explains how the premortem works by encouraging individuals to come up with plausible problems that haven't been discussed, and highlights the importance of creating a culture of candor within a team. The chapter also touches on the duration of a premortem exercise and its cultural impact on promoting discovery and psychological safety.
