Managed Risk Patterns
Patterns requiring specific safeguards and approval processes for safe production deployment.
Characteristics
- Client-facing but non-critical systems
- Requires specific safeguards and monitoring
- Limited data exposure with approval processes
- Documented contingencies and rollback plans
Key Pattern Areas
Architecture Patterns
- • Core system implementation
- • Extensible tool capabilities
- • Command processing systems
- • Integration architectures
Operations Patterns
- • Parallel tool execution
- • Performance optimization
- • Scaling considerations
- • Monitoring and alerts
Implementation Patterns
- • Complex workflow execution
- • Production scenario handling
- • Error recovery strategies
- • Performance optimization
Required Safeguards
Before Implementation
Risk assessment completed
Client approval obtained
Rollback plan documented
Monitoring configured
Team trained on procedures
During Implementation
Phased rollout strategy
Continuous monitoring
Regular checkpoints
Incident response ready
After Implementation
Performance metrics tracked
User feedback collected
Lessons learned documented
Process improvements identified
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Insufficient Testing
Always test thoroughly in staging environments that mirror production
Poor Communication
Keep all stakeholders informed throughout the implementation process
Missing Documentation
Document all decisions, changes, and procedures for future reference
Scope Creep
Stick strictly to the approved implementation scope and requirements
Escalation Procedures
Minor Issues: Team Lead
Data Concerns: Security Team
Client Impact: Account Manager
Major Incidents: CTO/Engineering Lead
