Episode notes
Math Team Relay Victory
- On his high school math team, Seth Godin prepared answers ahead for his relay race problem because only 99 outcomes were possible.
- This clever anticipation led to the team's only victory, illustrating early project management thinking.
Understanding Critical Path
- Complex projects have steps dependent on previous tasks, forming a critical path that determines the project timeline.
- Delays on critical path tasks cannot be made up and hold up the entire project, unlike non-critical tasks.
Green and Red Button Efficiency
- Seth's software project at Spinnaker used color-coded badges to identify who was on the critical path.
- This helped the team focus and avoid blocking key progress, improving project efficiency.
