How to fail and look good doing it

Here is the link.

Plan for it

Define "success" (and "done", and...)
Define processes for obvious bad outcomes
Don't bother thinking of every edge case
Define a process for dealing with new cases
Decide how much failures is acceptable
Create only the bare minimum process


Step 3: Deal with it (the hard part)
Do not blame or be angry
Gather your team - discuss fixes as a group
Make a decision and delegate immediately
Communicate; take personal responsibility
Allow stakeholders to express anger to you
Do not allow the business to apportion blame* or dwell on the situation


Actionable Item


It is such a good topic. I should write one by myself as well.
