“Sometimes, the path across the Risk Landscape will take you to dead ends, and the only benefit to be gained is experience. No one deliberately chooses a dead end - often you can take an action that doesn’t pay off, but frequently the dead end appears from nowhere: it’s a Hidden Risk. The source of a lot of this hidden risk is the complexity of the risk landscape.”
― Rob Moffat, Risk-First Software Development: The Menagerie
