Ludicrously Complex Projects⚑

Clear Ownership⚑

Split out the project into separate buckets of work duties with leaders for each bucket:

• Administrative
• Technical
• Strategy and Planning

Track Progress⚑

Communicate and track project's progression through sharing a project timeline and use it as a single source of truth. Keep it updated to reflect reality.

Make Effective Decisions⚑

• Brainstorm and be thoughtful by taking into account any and all long and short term implications.
• Optimize for efficiency
• Organize and Communicate

Manage Dependencies⚑

Anticipate bottlenecks – Make a table or diagram that maps out who your team relies on, and who relies on your team.

Keep tabs on it – Assign one owner from each side who looks after each dependency. Make sure the dependency owners understand and communicate the impact of changes to all upstream and downstream teams.
