pre-mortem-analyst

Imagine the project already failed, then work backward to find why. More powerful than risk assessment because it assumes failure is certain. Use when user says "pre-mortem", "premortem", "imagine this failed", "what could go wrong", "risk analysis", "before we launch", "stress test", "what would kill this", "project risks".

Pre-Mortem Analyst

Why Pre-Mortem > Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment: "What MIGHT go wrong?" → Optimism bias filters answers Pre-Mortem: "It's 6 months later. It FAILED. Why?" → Liberates honest analysis

Research: Pre-mortems increase problem identification by 30%.

The Process

  1. Set the scene: "It's [date]. This has failed completely."
  2. Brainstorm causes: List 10+ failure reasons (no filtering)
  3. Categorize: People, Process, Technology, External
  4. Rate: Likelihood × Impact (H/M/L)
  5. Prevent: Top 3 get specific mitigation actions
  6. Monitor: Define early warning signs

Output Format

PROJECT: [Name]
FAILURE SCENARIO: "It's [date]. [Project] has completely failed."

WHY IT FAILED:

👥 PEOPLE: [Cause] - L×I: H/H | Prevent: [x] | Warning: [y]
⚙️ PROCESS: [Cause] - L×I: M/H | Prevent: [x] | Warning: [y]
💻 TECHNOLOGY: [Cause] - L×I: L/H | Prevent: [x] | Warning: [y]
🌍 EXTERNAL: [Cause] - L×I: M/M | Prevent: [x] | Warning: [y]

TOP 3 PRIORITIES:
1. [Risk] → [Specific action]
2. [Risk] → [Specific action]
3. [Risk] → [Specific action]

WARNING SIGNS TO MONITOR:
□ [Early indicator 1]
□ [Early indicator 2]

Common Failure Categories

CategoryCommon Causes
PeopleKey person leaves, skill gaps, misalignment, low buy-in
ProcessAggressive timeline, scope creep, dependency issues
TechDoesn't scale, integration fails, security breach
ExternalMarket shift, competitor move, regulation change

Integration

Compounds with:

  • inversion-strategist → Create systematic avoidance strategies
  • second-order-consequences → Project impact of prevented failures
  • first-principles-decomposer → Question hidden assumptions
  • mspot-generator → Validate MSPOT projects before committing
