Managed Risk Patterns (Yellow)

Patterns requiring specific safeguards and approval processes.

Characteristics

• ⚠️ Client-facing but non-critical
• ⚠️ Requires specific safeguards
• ⚠️ Limited data exposure
• ⚠️ Needs approval process
• ⚠️ Documented contingencies

Key Patterns

Architecture Patterns

• Core Architecture - Full system implementation

Operations Patterns

• Parallel Tool Execution - Performance optimization
• Performance at Scale - Scaling considerations

Implementation Patterns

• Execution Flow in Detail - Complex workflows
• Real World Examples - Production scenarios

Required Safeguards

Before Implementation

• Risk assessment completed
• Client approval obtained
• Rollback plan documented
• Monitoring configured
• Team trained

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

1. Insufficient testing - Always test in staging first
2. Poor communication - Keep stakeholders informed
3. Missing documentation - Document decisions and changes
4. Scope creep - Stick to approved implementation

Escalation Path

• Minor issues → Team lead
• Data concerns → Security team
• Client impact → Account manager
• Major incidents → CTO/Engineering lead
