So, what are some key things any of us can do to have a smooth sailing project? Here are two things I find useful:
1. Be organized at every step.
Defining and organizing the small things as well as paying attention to detail leads to greater clarity overall. Creating a system at the beginning of a project for all the processes, data, action items, workflows, collaterals, etc. is easier, and this helps when things get tough, time constraints kick in or a huge volume of information or decision-making flows in. Creating trackers can help everyone out and keep all stakeholders on track. Organizing your information, questions, requests or directives in a specific way to make it easier for the other stakeholders to consume, ensures that it’s easier for them to respond or take action no matter how busy they are.
2. Communication is important.
Keep everyone informed on the status regularly, raise flags for concerns early, when in doubt re-confirm rather than assume. And when working with a team or when tracking their deliverables make sure to appreciate their effort, keep in mind their velocity, understand their constraints but also ask them to stretch when needed and define the deliverables with clarity in scope and timelines.
In the end, seeing a vision come to life, the sense of accomplishment we get when we see our work out in the world, being used, transformed from ink on paper, or in most cases nowadays, from words on a screen to reality, to something out there for the world to share- that’s incomparable.
