Podcast Ep 8 | Done When?

· Project Management

Two women at a glass wall, one ticking off the last box while the other watches sceptically

Host: Wim Kerkhoff
Guest: James Davis

Done When? That’s a huge problem in projects. We don’t actually know when something is complete and so, it leaves the status so open-ended and vague. Instead of going back to the checklist of the project to see what are the critical things that are needed to get done, it can become distracting to try to fix other issues. James and Wim discuss how Agile, Lean and Kanban help projects finish: break the work down, make it visible, do one thing at a time instead of multitasking, and get feedback quickly.

  • 00:20 The setup for project work should be clear and ready to start, with tasks broken down into manageable sizes.
  • 01:10 Checklists and clear definitions of “done” are crucial for effective project management.
  • 02:30 Visualizing the flow of work and identifying bottlenecks can help improve project delivery.
  • 03:45 Delegating to team members and growing their skills leads to better project outcomes.
