Pre-mortem - When reviewing or creating the curriculum - what can go wrong? by Dorota Zielazna https://padlet.com/dorota_zielazna/beoxs86786kxvn2k A pre-mortem is a way to open a space in a project at its inception (or at any stage) to directly address its risks. It asks everyone to directly tap into their experience and intuition. It also gives safe platform for voicing fears and anxiety. [...] A pre-mortem is best conducted at the project's kick-off, with all key team members present and after the goals and plans have been laid out and understood. The exercise starts with a simple question "What will go wrong?" though it may be elevated in phrasing to "How will this end in disaster?" Game-storming.
