2. Scheduling Thoughts

  • Cadence (time) of progress updates is as important as the updates themselves. When a turn around is too fast, accuracy is lost. Too slow and stale data. Always lay out the cycle on a calendar and find the sweet spot.

  • The buffer should be established at the same time as the business need date. Buffers that push the business need date are doomed to fail.
