Pre-Mortem Analysis

Pre-Mortem Analysis is a technique to help prevent having to complete a post-mortem on a total project failure. After identifying highly likely reasons for potential project failure, the team can develop countermeasures to protect the project.   

Developed by Public Health Foundation (PHF) quality improvement experts Sonja Armbruster and Jack W. Moran, in collaboration with Jane Shirley of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, this forward-thinking tool supports more resilient planning.
