Kill Criteria & Exit Ramps FAQs

Question 1

How does this skill help avoid the sunk cost fallacy?

It provides structured techniques like 'pre-mortem inversion' to help teams evaluate projects based on future potential and opportunity costs rather than past investments.

Question 2

What is the difference between pivoting and killing a project?

Question 3

When should kill criteria be established?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, kill criteria should be set before a project launches to ensure objective decision-making that isn't influenced by active emotional or financial investment.

Question 4

What are kill criteria?

Accepted Answer

Kill criteria are pre-defined, objective conditions that trigger the termination of a project, product, or initiative to prevent wasted resources and emotional bias.

Question 5

Who should have the authority to trigger an exit ramp?

Accepted Answer
