Management and leadership

In day-to-day work

Someone to turn to

Assign the people responsible for the task. If the plan changes, the team knows who to speak to and which assignments to revisit.

Check before you promise a date

Gantt lays out activities along a timeline. Look for overlapping dates before you promise the team another delivery.

Keep the figures close

Keep expected amounts, assumptions and totals in a spreadsheet. When a figure comes up in a review, the team can return to the same numbers.

Before you start

A few good questions.

How can a manager prepare for a status review?

Ask everyone to update their tasks first. Use the meeting to discuss a date at risk, a decision due or a colleague who needs help.

How is key-result progress updated?

The owner records the latest measurement during the review. Progress on the underlying tasks gives context for that measurement.
