    Up until recently I worked for a company worth anything, and you would be surprised at how *many" major outages were caused by either skipping the process or gaps in the process.

    You know that adage: “the safety rules are written in blood”? The same is true for change processes, just with a cost measured in dollars instead of human injury/worse.

      Or sometimes there are just multiple failures. That’s what I learned from reading Admiral Cloudberg about air disasters: even if you have n safety measures, there’s still the chance that there’ll be n+1 failures.
