Lesson 9 / 25

Failure modes

Apply Failure modes with clear evidence.

Understand Failure modes

For Failure modes, begin with the problem it solves. Identify the inputs, constraints, and observable outcome before choosing an implementation.

Practise deliberately

Create one small example for Failure modes and verify its result before expanding it.

A useful comparison

Failure modes is like a route plan: it keeps each step connected to a destination.

Check your reasoning.

Quick check: What is the best first step for Failure modes?

  • Define the goal and constraints.
  • Copy an unverified example.
  • Skip measurement.
Answer

Define the goal and constraints. — A clear goal and constraints make decisions reviewable.
