How Planning to Fail Leads to Success: The Basics of Using a PreMortem

[@babloosony]

some reasons I can think of why the plan failed is because ... a. one of the team members got sick and there is no medicine to mitigate his sickness .... b. the weather suddently turned unpredictable and there is not enough backup and contingency planned

[@IrenicCryogenic]

1. Injury and other illness 2. Literal physical roadblocks 3. Different physical aptitudes, ie. Someone became tired and the pace had to be changed Things I read that I didn't think of Weather Wild animals Lost items

[@HAONANLI-mt1rw]

Reason of failure could be that we met some precarious wild animals along the way and had to change plans.

[@alphatras4573]

1. The temperature was below what we could handle. 2. We did not have the required supplies. 3. We did not know our way. 4. We got separated. 5. We did not learn from other's failures and we succumb to such failures. 6. One of us had a broken leg. 7. One of us got slipped from the rock. 8. Our tools got broke. 9. The way frozen.

Possible reasons for failure of plan: 1) distraction by cute animals, 2) lack of hiking experience, 3) lack of contingency plan, and 4) lack of risk mitigation plan. Solutions: 1) have at least one strict person stop distraction by other group members, 2) provide short hiking trip for unexperienced group members before the hike, 3) develop contingency plan, and 4) develop risk mitigation plan.

Excellent idea 💡

Plan could have failed because it's daylight savings and sunrise is at 5:30am, so if they left at 4am, 1.5 hours is not enough time to make it to the top.

Didn't wake up on time. 4am starts are no joke.

[@DecisionSkills]

True. I know I’d consider the snooze button.

[@Morgan-jn2nt]

Thank you!

[@sasha.t3737]

why the plan failed: 1.they walked too slow. 2. there was an emergency such as a wild animal, or injury. 3. they lost something and had to backtrack. 4.

Premortem is only one thing that fixes the direction in advance

[@mrrobinhood5]

Was hungover

[@gabehcuodsuoitneterp203]

Reason for failure: We didn’t put on our shoes. So we never got out the base camp “door” and slept in. Solution: Get shoes on first. Sleep with shoes on.
