Operations

What it covers

What your people will learn.

  • Operations

If you have run a move, a launch or an event, you have already managed a project. What usually goes wrong is a handful of specific moves nobody showed you.

Projects slip in predictable places: requests nobody priced, estimates built on the version where nothing snags, energy spent on the important task while the one everything waits on sits untouched, and status meetings that report effort instead of progress. Each has a plain fix you can use without software or a methodology to adopt.

You practise each one on worked cases, from a bakery website that keeps growing to a school gala whose date is set by its RSVPs, and finish by filling in one page for a project you are running now.

Who it's for

Founders: running launches, hires and moves with no project training and no time to get any.

Accidental project leads: handed a deliverable and a deadline, and now responsible for other people finishing on time.

Operators and team leads: who want one repeatable way to scope, estimate and track work across the team.
