- Figure out what we’re delivering that hasn’t been promised and stop spending time on these things.
- Cut out clear “nice to haves.”
- Eliminate unexpected things whose absence won’t be missed.
- Remove things whose presence just makes the overall project look more incomplete.
- Work with an explicit “better done than perfect” mentality.
- Go with “high-probability” answers (vs. waiting around for “certain” answers).
- Identify things with longer lead times or that someone else still needs to work on, and get them done first.
- Force making decisions (and then not revisiting them any further).
- Check if there are alternative organizational approaches for the project that move it to completion more rapidly.
- Ask for help from incredibly dependable team members (if they haven’t been involved in the effort already).
- Create a new to do list with color coding to make important tasks stand out.
- Start assembling physical elements of the project in an open space (when working with computer files, create a new empty folder of final deliverables so it’s clear what’s done).
- Develop a negotiating strategy if it appears trade-offs will need to be made with the end client.
- Make a short list of things easily addressed or fixed “later than sooner.”
- Think more, talk less, and do – like crazy!
That’s what I came up with trying to think about situations when time has been running down on projects previously.
