Margin of Safety: Building Resilience
Plan for the worst case. Build buffer against uncertainty.
Margin of safety: the difference between capacity and load. More margin means more resilience when reality differs from plans.
Building Safety
Reality is unpredictable. Plans fail, estimates miss, accidents happen. Margin provides buffer when things go wrong—which they always do.
Build margin. Expect the unexpected.
Adding Margin
- Time buffers: More time than you need
- Financial reserve: Savings for emergencies
- Capacity slack: Don't max out
- Plan B: Have alternatives ready
Build safety margins. You'll need them.
