- Tradeoff between system safety and some risk that allows you to take on new challenges
- Too much risk is not what we’re talking about
- Being responsible
- Intention, awareness of new burden
- Should feel like you can push back against risk
- Needed within a team
- Psychological safety, strong communication (share freely, communicate directly)
- Good judgement
- Acceptance of failure
- “It’s ok to call a dive if it doesn’t feel safe”
- Alignment of risk tolerance - let the least experienced member of a group lead the team. Don’t leave anyone behind. Let the person who might be the most uncomfortable in a situation decide whether we move forward or not.
- Experienced divers
- Practice for failures (fire drills)
- Prepare (pre-mortems, talk about plan, discuss when to fallback, align on risk tolerance, what are the goals)
- Share your dive stories (post-mortems, output is not a list of jira tickets)
