Keep Your IT Project On Time

3 succinct tips from HBS on how to keep projects on time.

Key takeaways:

(1) align with your projects to business needs and strategy or you will lose
(2) Focus on immediate and pressing needs, "nice to haves" can follow. I have found the 80/20 rule to work well. This aligns well with my mantra "Think Big, Act Small, Move Quickly"
(3) Anticipate delays and plan well. Risk Mitigation and proper project planning always help in successful project implementation and execution.
