Question 1 of 6 0%
01 / 06
The system works in our environment but behaves differently once it leaves it.
Yes. Consistently.
Sometimes. We cannot predict when.
It behaves the same way everywhere. The problem is something else.
We have not tested it outside our environment yet.
02 / 06
When something breaks, two or more teams each think it is the other team's problem.
Yes. This conversation has happened more than once.
One team usually ends up owning it but it takes too long to get there.
Ownership is clear. The issue is something else entirely.
We are a small team. Everyone owns everything and nothing is getting fixed.
03 / 06
A change made in one part of the system broke something in a completely different part.
Yes. More than once. We spend more time firefighting than building.
It happened once and we are still not sure why.
Changes within a layer are fine. Problems come from outside the system.
We avoid making changes because the risk feels too high.
04 / 06
We have a specification or architecture document. The system does not fully behave the way it describes.
Yes. The gap between the document and reality keeps growing.
We have something but it is outdated. Nobody is working from the same version.
The spec is fine internally. Problems come from what the spec never covered.
We do not have one. Decisions live in people's heads or message threads.
05 / 06
There is something about this system that everyone assumes is fine but nobody has tested in real conditions.
Yes. Reading this, I know exactly what it is.
Probably. I cannot name it precisely but something feels unverified.
We have tested everything that matters. The problem is somewhere else.
We have not reached real conditions testing yet.
06 / 06
If this system fails six months from now, what will the team say caused it?
The environment was more extreme than we designed for.
A specific component failed. We already suspect which one.
A decision made early in the build that nobody went back to question.
We already have a feeling. We just have not addressed it yet.
