Goddamn!

Goal

If you don’t have a goal, how can you be happy that you’ve achieved your goal?

Objectives

Breaking a goal down into digestible steps is how we reach it.

Deadlines

Every deliverable takes place at a time, and that time is agreed on before we start.

Acceptance Tests

Every goal and every objective has a well-defined acceptance test written down and agreed upon before the project work starts.

Measurement

The four quantifiers of project apocalypse are Date-Time, Space (or “Geographic”), Boolean (“Yes/No”) and Numeric.

Next Steps

At each step, enhancements come crawling out of the woodwork. Don’t kill them; File them.

Talk to Me !
