\"Profit<\/a>
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Warm up the machines that take a long time first.<\/p>\n

Stress test the go\/no go parts of the project as early as possible.<\/p>\n

If the cost is low, replace dependent processes with parallel ones.<\/p>\n

Do the difficult parts when energy is high and the budget hasn\u2019t been depleted.<\/p>\n

Ship before you run out of time or money.<\/p>\n

Invest in slack buffers for any critical dependent components.<\/p>\n

Budgets are a tool, not a weapon.<\/p>\n

Thrash early, then lock down decisions and don\u2019t change them.<\/p>\n

Assign each task to the least expensive\/least busy people able to get the job done. (This is probably not the project manager).<\/p>\n

Prioritize feedback from people with taste, skill and influence, not proximity or volume.<\/p>\n

Identify go\/no go points based on irreversible actions or unrecoverable costs.<\/p>\n

Anticipate the difficult and high-risk moments in advance and reserve resources for the ones you can\u2019t anticipate.<\/p>\n

Heroism is more fun but less reliable than good planning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
