OPS.9:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

Anti-pattern	Failure	Repair
Every operation has one permanently named bottleneck.	Distributed delay and changing regimes are excluded before observation.	State the result-relative limiting relation and allow unresolved or multiple mechanisms.
A fast local step proves whole-operation improvement.	Acceptance, joins and rework may dominate the result.	Preserve the accepted unit and inspect the whole relevant path.
A capacity ratio is a feasible schedule.	Precedence, access and simultaneous-resource conditions can defeat it.	Supply the timed witness or retain an infeasibility bound only.
A generic causal checklist replaces the field probe.	No actual admissible change or observation is specified.	Name the professional Method, changed action, comparison and stop.
A successful treatment remains the answer forever.	The arrangement and limiting relation have changed.	Reopen the account after the material change.
