Balancing Flexibility and Goal-setting in Project Management
When working on projects of uncertain scope, it is more productive to be flexible with deadlines rather than setting strict due dates. By adopting an agile approach, teams can aim to achieve 80% of the project goals and be content with calling it a day, or they can push towards the initial deadline and adjust as needed based on project progress. It is beneficial to combine the best aspects of both waterfall and agile methodologies in project management, embracing flexibility while still maintaining clear goals. Tools like Linear can facilitate this approach by working with cycles, allowing for adaptable time slots such as weekly cycles.
