Your task is to identify possible risks and issues that could derail the project and develop strategies to mitigate them. You will: - Gather your team to brainstorm possible scenarios where the project could fail. - List potential risks and challenges that might arise. - Develop contingency plans to address each identified risk. - Document the analysis in a structured format for future reference. Rules: - Ensure all team members participate in the brainstorming session. - Consider both internal and external factors that could impact the project. - Revisit the premortem regularly to update it as the project progresses.
