How to Manage a Fast-Moving Project

Big project, lots of moving pieces, short timeline...

How do you handle it? Where do you start?

Here's what NOT to do:

❌ Immediately start working on the most fascinating aspect of the project.

❌ Schedule a full week's worth of meetings with everyone involved (and more!) to "talk about the project" and "toss around ideas."

❌ Pour yourself into creating very detailed spreadsheets and Gantt charts - that's what project managers do, right?

Instead, try starting here:

✅ Identify your project sponsor and confirm what the purpose of the project is.

✅ Get clear on budget, deadline, and deliverables.

✅ Break your project into milestones and gather the right people to make decisions about how to get each piece done efficiently.
