Balancing quality and long-term goals in project deliverables requires a strategic approach. Prioritize clear communication of both immediate quality standards and future objectives with the team. Set realistic milestones that address both quality and long-term impact. Invest in tools and resources that ensure quality while aligning with future goals. Regularly review progress to identify potential risks to long-term success and make adjustments. Foster a culture of continuous improvement, where quality is integrated into every phase, helping maintain focus on both current and future deliverables.

This is a very good challenge to face. To balance Quality and Long-Term goals, we need to prioritize essential/MVP requirements without compromising quality. We should regularly review progress/milestones, follow continuous delivery, gather and address feedback, and identify/resolve risks/issues early. Keep the stakeholders updated by communicating openly ensuring quality and future goals.

If 80% or more of customer value can be generated in a MVP mode, than you shouldn’t even be considering it as a Long Term project. Technologies change and most importantly consumer behaviour and expectations change and with time, most long term projects just fizzle out. Figure out how you and your teams can generate short term value, tactical deliveries and move your focus to the next best thing. But if you’re forced to still work long term, then break it down. Every step should deliver an incremental value for the customer or the shareholders but each packaged differently. Quick in, Quick out. Always focus on delivering quick value & lasting impact but don’t take ten years to do it 😉

Any organisation that fosters quality culture will help in achieving long-term deliverables without compromising quality. It's essential to have the right foundation, infrastructure and tools to maintain quality culture.Also the way your QMS is setup and managed plays a vital role too.

Un buen líder sabe inspirar, un equipo inspirado siempre da resultado de Calidad y éxito. No sé mide por el tiempo de entrega. No eres bueno o excelente un rato. Eres bueno y excelente cuando trabajas con pasión. La pregunta es ¿Cómo mantener a tu equipo de trabajo apasionado? Y sus resultados serán más allá de lo esperado.

Cuando se tiene al equipo motivado se pueden obtener resultados sorprendentes si bien es cierto no faltarán las dificultades para poder llevar a buen puerto debemos tener la capacidad de poder superar paso a pasó las adversidades

Often, quality is compromised when the vision, mission & strategy is unclear to the team. This shifts the focus to merely completing tasks rather than delivering high-quality outcomes. For a project manager, it is crucial to have a deep understanding of the organization’s long-term strategy, vision, & mission. If this information is not readily provided, they must actively seek it. This alignment ensures that projects are executed with a focus on sustainability, strategic goals, and continuous improvement. By embedding this understanding into daily practices, project teams can foster a culture of continuous improvement, driven bottom-up by the team members themselves.

Always keep the long term objective and build MVPs and iterations. Take as much feedback as possible so that when you iterate you have the right impression of the customer's needs. Make sure that all your work is aligned with the company's vision. Most importantly you need to have great leads who listen and acknowledge the effort to make the needle move in the right direction and support you.
