Template
Implementation Pre Mortem
The Pre‑Mortem template helps teams identify risks and unknowns before project kickoff.
Use it to validate assumptions, map dependencies, confirm data readiness, and align on go/no‑go criteria so implementation runs smoothly.
Key aspects of the template include:
A scoring system to assess confidence across scope, data, integrations, security, and change readiness
Structured sections to capture mitigations, owners, and due dates before work begins
A lightweight risk register that feeds into project planning and task creation.
