5 Tips for Dealing with Unrealistic Project Timelines


Are you a project manager that's been handed a project with unrealistic timeline expectations? If so, this week's episode of Better Projects Today is for you.


Key take-aways from this episode include:


• Trust and transparency are foundational to getting a project back on track


• If asking for more resources, do it in a way that makes it very easy for your Sponsor to say "yes"


• When faced with someone unreasonable, approach them with a "coalition of the reasonable"


Better Projects Today is the bite-sized project management podcast helping you to bridge theory and practice in your own work to create better teams, better results, and better projects today. I'm Tyler Norman, and I bring 15 years of experience as a global program leader and serial mentor to project professionals.
