A prophets of doom workshop
In the past I have used some pretty dodgy approaches to defining risks in a project, from formal approaches like fault tree analysis through to informal approaches like “the evil genius” and “an international standard for being scared“.
So this article is not really a new one. It is more a combination of evil geniuses and international standards for being scared. But I think this workshop should work well when starting any project and particularly small projects with a simple project charter.
