FMEA for SaaS Platform Migration at a 40-Person Scale-Up
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You are provided with a system architecture overview and a list of potential failure modes from the engineering team. Your task is to complete an FMEA worksheet: identify failure modes, effects, causes, and current controls. Assign Severity (S), Occurrence (O), and Detection (D) ratings (1-10) and calculate Risk Priority Numbers (RPN). Propose at least 5 actionable recommendations to reduce high RPN items. Success is a completed FMEA report with clear risk prioritization and mitigation plan.
