To identify potential negative consequences in order to collaboratively develop an action plan.

Step 1: Identify potential failure points

List all possible negative aspects, obstacles, and risks that could hinder the project's success. Consider technical, financial, organizational, and external factors that may cause setbacks.

Step 2: Implement preventive measures

For each identified risk, determine what actions can be taken to prevent or minimize its impact. This includes strategic planning, process adjustments, resource allocation, and preventive protocols.

Step 3: Monitor and prepare for contingencies

Continuously reassess risks and update the failure scenarios as the project evolves. Establish early warning signals to detect issues early and develop contingency plans to respond effectively if preventive measures fall short.

By systematically testing for weaknesses and preparing safeguards, the Crash Test Method ensures resilience, adaptability, and project success.
