Grill me
by Matt Pocock · reviewed by Mike Reams
Interviews you about a plan in rounds, with a recommended answer for every question, until no decision is left assumed.
What you get
A plan whose decisions have all been settled out loud, in the order they depend on each other.
- When to use it
- When a plan, a design or a decision needs stress-testing before work starts.
- Ask for it like this
- “Grill me on this migration plan.”
- Limits
- It looks facts up itself instead of asking you for them, and it does not act on the plan until you confirm.
- Works with
- It leads to Pre-mortem.
What I changed, and why I run it
- Two skills, one card: grill-me is the command and grilling holds the method. Text only; I changed the round format to plain labels instead of emoji.
- It runs on a milestone plan before the plan reaches me for approval, next to the pre-mortem. The questions find what the plan assumed.
