Risk-first sequencing plan
A simple way to order work so the risky parts are resolved early.
Most teams front-load UI because it feels fast. This playbook flips that order to protect your timeline.
Identify risks
List the dependencies that could block delivery. If it is unknown, external, or brittle, it is a risk.
- New data models or migrations
- APIs with unclear behavior
- Permissions and audit requirements
Sequence by failure cost
Start with the work that would be hardest to change later. This prevents late rewrites.
Validate early
Build thin proofs and test the hardest parts before investing in full UI.
Target Outcome
A build plan that absorbs risk early and avoids late-stage rework.
