Watch Lists
How many times have your said or heard someone say, “It was a slip”.
Depending on where the slip occurred, it could be insignificant or pretty expensive. A mere “Sorry”, may not always recover the damage!
While a surgeon that had made a ‘slip’ may never ever have an opportunity to say “Sorry” to the patient that was subject to the slip, a computer engineer that truncated a production database table may find himself behind bars for his ‘slip’.
For most other slips, a immediate remedy to recover from the damage caused may lie in maintaining a simple watch list.
All it takes is, going back and verifying certain important elements against a watch list after performing a task that has dependencies. Ignore and you may have to feel sorry for yourself, for you may for ever be on the watch list of someone, that you do not care to be on!
