The modern project manager faces a challenge as technology advances quickly while risks in critical infrastructure and safety-sensitive environments remain complex.
Lessons from maritime engineering like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), compliance culture, redundancy for resilience, incident drills, and stakeholder visibility can benefit tech-driven projects.
Applying principles from marine safety can help tech projects in embedding structured risk analysis, compliance requirements, redundancy planning, incident response drills, and clear stakeholder alignment.
By combining insights from marine safety practices with tech initiatives, a balance between innovation and accountability can be achieved, leading to the development of more trustworthy and resilient digital systems.
