You're faced with project deadlines and technical hurdles. How do you navigate the clash effectively?

1. Keep a clear head by managing stress through breaks and maintaining a positive attitude. 2. Collaborate with your team and encourage open communication. 3. Focus on the most critical tasks first to meet deadlines without sacrificing quality.

A proactive approach to managing challenges involves preparing for potential issues before they arise. Proactively identify potential risks, & technical obstacles, & break down the project into manageable tasks with realistic timelines & dependencies. Involve technical specialists to pinpoint potential issues & develop solutions. Keep stakeholders informed of progress, potential roadblocks, & any necessary timeline adjustments. Develop a contingency plan including backup strategies for potential technical issues, identifying additional resources or external vendors to assist, and inclusion of buffer time in the project timeline to accommodate unexpected delays. This ensures that you are well-prepared to navigate challenges effectively.

This is probably the most important thing. 1. Find out what is a need to have versus nice to have. 2. Make sure your have an accurate scope of the problem. (Just how big is this technical hurdle?) 3. Know the finish line. (Where do you want to be and when?) 4. Work your way backwards from the finish line, and outline all the incremental steps that must be achieved to get there. Starting with the finish line is the clearest way to make sure you understand your objectives. It also allows you to focus exactly on what needs to be done, and get your staff out of the weeds.

Si los conflictos llegaron, significa que ya es tarde. La planificación siempre debe respetarse y defenderse, pero nada está escrito en piedra, así que el ser flexibles permitirá ante todo, saber afrontar la realidad, nos guste o no. Después, entender la situación y evaluar si nuestras contingencias nos van a ayudar lo suficiente o bien se necesita replanificar y adaptarnos.

It is not uncommon to face obstacles in a project due to unforeseen technical issues causing delay's in the project timelines. However, these have to be addressed with clear transparent communication. Never keep the stakeholders guessing. Proactive communication of the project status at a regular cadence is critical key for the stake holder management. Never provide a bad message late. If the project is getting delayed, I strongly recommended to provide an early pre-read of the potential delay as well as the reasons for such a delay and an action plan for recovery.
