Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah's in meetings all day long
Asking questions but something's wrong
"Are we good?" and "Sound okay?"
Confirming what they already say
She records three talks to see her style
Questions sorted in different piles
Clarifying, confirming what she knew
But diagnostic questions? Only a few

[Chorus]
From ambiguity to clarity
Three exercises set you free
Question audit shows the way
Silent voices have their say
Pre-mortem maps what could go wrong
Clarity makes projects strong
Audit, listen, then explore
These three steps unlock the door

[Verse 2]
Tom's project seems to be on track
Team alignment, nothing lacks
But there's someone in accounting who
Sees the budget from a different view
The silent stakeholder holds the key
To perspectives they need to see
One interview could change it all
Before the project starts to fall

[Chorus]
From ambiguity to clarity
Three exercises set you free
Question audit shows the way
Silent voices have their say
Pre-mortem maps what could go wrong
Clarity makes projects strong
Audit, listen, then explore
These three steps unlock the door

[Bridge]
Thirty minutes, gather round
What failure modes can be found?
Server crashes, budget cuts
Data loss and workflow ruts
Document every way it breaks
Learn from all potential mistakes
Specification gets refined
Peace of project leader's mind

[Verse 3]
Diagnostic questions dig so deep
"Why" and "how" the secrets keep
Fifty percent should probe and find
The real issues in your mind
The quiet person in the hall
Might just prevent your project's fall
Before you start, see how you'll end
Pre-mortem saves what you defend

[Chorus]
From ambiguity to clarity
Three exercises set you free
Question audit shows the way
Silent voices have their say
Pre-mortem maps what could go wrong
Clarity makes projects strong
Audit, listen, then explore
These three steps unlock the door

[Outro]
Record and sort, interview and hear
Map the failures, crystal clear
From fuzzy thoughts to laser sight
These exercises make it right
