Ep.1356 - Baseline Strategy, yes. Baselines, no.
Baselines vs. Baseline Strategies: Why One Works and the Other Doesn’t
In this episode, I break down why traditional CPM baselines lock you into failure and how baseline strategies give you the flexibility to deliver. You’ll learn the difference between a static baseline that owners love to weaponize and a living strategy that keeps your team aligned while adapting to reality.
We’ll cover the dos and don’ts, how to use a baseline strategy in Takt planning, and why tracking milestones beats obsessing over baseline comparisons every time. If you’ve ever been trapped by a schedule you couldn’t change, this episode will show you a better way to plan, communicate, and succeed.
