When faced with unrealistic timelines, I focus on leveraging the 80/20 rule: identify the 20% of tasks that will deliver 80% of the impact. Then, I streamline collaboration by introducing real-time updates through shared tools like Kanban boards, ensuring everyone is aligned and eliminating redundancy. If necessary, I propose phased deliveries—achieving incremental milestones while keeping quality intact.

When project timelines are tight, I start by listing all the tasks and identifying which ones are crucial for success. I focus on high-priority items and see if I can delegate or postpone the less important ones. I talk with my team to make sure everyone knows what to prioritize and adjust workloads if needed. I also communicate with stakeholders to set realistic expectations and negotiate deadlines when possible. Staying organized and keeping everyone informed helps us manage the work and meet the most important deadlines.
