Many engineering teams run post-mortems when there is a failure or error. The team needs to come together to discuss what went wrong and how to prevent it from happening again.
But what if we could anticipate and prevent these failures before they happen? Enter the pre-mortem.
Pre-mortems are a powerful tool that the best product teams at Google, Meta, Stripe, and others use regularly to increase the probability of a successful product launch and avoid difficult-to-recover failures.
This AI-generated episode is based on How Meta and Instagram Use Pre-Mortems to Avoid Post-Mortems from The Product Compass Newsletter, where Yue Zhao (CPTO, Coach, Author) shares how pre-mortems can benefit your team and provides actionable steps to run an effective session.
