pre-mortem

Reviewing the details of why a product or project launch will fail BEFORE the product actually launches. This is distinct in nature from a post-mortem, which FOLLOWS a failed product or project launch.

Pre-mortem

An analysis or discussion of an event held before the incident occurred, especially in order to determine why it would be a failure.

A pre-mortem of your actions, will inspire you to plan ahead for the future.
