Ask anyone who’s shipped meaningful work and they’ll tell you the same thing: ideas are a fraction of what matters. The devil is in the execution. Execution is where you pay the real price for your projects. Time, money, and resources… projects require an investment. Which is why it’s critical you learn how to prioritize your projects. For many project managers, prioritizing projects is easier said than done.

Back in the mid-90s, just as Netscape Navigator was giving us our first look at what the visual internet could be, web design came in two flavors. There was the ultra basic stuff. Text on a page, maybe a masthead graphic of some sort. Nothing sophisticated. It often looked like traditional letterhead, or a printed newsletter, but now on the screen. Interactions were few, if any, but perhaps a couple links tied a nascent site together. And there was the other extreme.

There’s no course in business school that teaches how to run a business with your wife. Marketing. Finance. Supply Chain. Law. Most of my business school experience taught “Business” with a capital “B” — the suit and tie variety. So, when my wife and I launched a business 10 years later, I was unprepared and uneducated on the challenges we would face.

Most plans are useless. A typical 5-year plan is nothing more than a collection of guesses. And when these guesses turn out to be incorrect (as guesses often are), companies are forced to choose between their original plan and what makes sense today. That said, there’s one plan that no company should ever ignore… The 30-60-90 Day Onboarding Plan.

Entrepreneurship is growing. In 2021, 5.5 million small businesses were created, a million more than in 2020 and a 54% increase over 2019. As basic supply and demand often goes, there has also been an uptick in businesses designed to help entrepreneurs succeed. Which means the digital space is flooded with experts, gurus, and coaches all claiming to help you avoid the challenges of entrepreneurship. The problem? Everyone talks about the same challenges with the same solutions.

We all love the myth of the “natural born leader”. The Alpha that takes charge of every situation, ensuring the job gets done, no matter what. But leadership is so much more than someone with an outgoing personality. It’s a collection of skills. Empathy. Listening. Coaching. Motivation. Powerful leaders act a lot like a Swiss Army Knife, deploying the right tool at the right time to get the desired result.

New hires slog through a lot before they’re ready to operate at the rate of someone who’s been there for years. And should you leave out important steps when getting someone set up, you could end up with a new employee who doesn’t know where to go for help, isn’t sure what they’re supposed to be doing every day, and ends up regretting their decision to join your company. New hires are also judging you during their first weeks at the company.

People love to give advice. And when the whole world seemed to go remote in 2020, the advice of how to best work remotely started to flood in. Some advice was sound. Other advice was downright harmful. There are threads all over Reddit, Twitter, and at least a dozen established Facebook groups with countless experts in remote work—”experts” who have barely been doing it for a year.

Can you hop on that meeting? Will you take a look at this graphic? Give me your thoughts about this initiative quickly. What do you need me to do here? Here’s a task I need you to complete by the deadline. Which of these common workplace requests sound like collaborating? I’ll give you a hint: it’s none of them. The truth is, most of us aren’t really collaborating at work.

There’s a problem with most project management software. When scribbled sticky notes were no longer effective in helping employees figure out what they needed to do in their roles, and when remote work became not only a viable option, but a good one, companies needed a better way to keep track of what each person ought to be doing on any given day. Enter: project management software.
