You identify them, record them, monitor them and plan for them: risks are an inherent part of every project. Some risks are bound to become problem areas—like executing a project over the holidays and having to plan the project timeline around them.

Why do we do the things that we do? There are two ways of approaching assignments. You can either toe the line or question all the crucial matters. When you’re creating something for someone else, you usually sit down together, listen to their needs, lay out some ideas and come up with a solution which you will then turn into reality. But what if someone comes to you with a very specific idea and they’re very keen on making it happen?

Distill the essence. Of everything you’ve covered in a meeting, conversation or workshop, what's the essence of that, up to now? This is a progress summary or snapshot of where you are. We don’t use summaries anywhere near enough at work. As a result, we leave people hanging, wondering 'WTF is going on?'.
