Interview with Jen Leech VP of Engineering at Truss
All this month on Build, we’ve been talking about project management. First, we shared two ground rules you need to set for yourself to get through a software project successfully, and in the last episode, we shared strategies for handling new ideas and unexpected challenges that may derail your project.
But you’re probably left wondering, what do you do to get through the last 20% of a project? Especially when the deadline changes, and it’s clear that teammates are starting to burn out and become demotivated? Is it even possible to get through it and successfully ship?
And if you are able to get through those hurdles and successfully ship, what next?
In today’s Build episode, Jen Leech who is the VP of Engineering at Truss, and I are going to share proven strategies to get you through that last 20% and successfully ship!
You’ll learn:
- Why the last 20% of a project is really a lie!
- How to avoid the complacency that comes with a deadline that are very far away in the future.
- What to do when the deadline gets pushed up or back.
