Landing projects successfully

Getting projects across the finish line is a challenge, particularly for projects where you need other teams to do something - for example, to migrate to a new tool or a new version of an API. This talk will cover how to increase the likelihood that those teams will do what you need them to do, through a focus on clarity, communication, and empathy. It will cover some ideas for nudging behaviour too.

Getting projects across the finish line is a challenge, particularly for projects where you need other teams to do something – for example, to migrate to a new tool or a new version of an API. This talk will cover how to increase the likelihood that those teams will do what you need them to do, through a focus on clarity, communication, and empathy. It will cover some ideas for nudging behaviour too.

Personal reflection

After watching the talk, take a few minutes to think about the following:

  1. What methods do you use to communicate in your company? Are there methods you can add?
  2. For the project that you’re working on at the moment – why are you doing it and why now? Would other people in your team have the same answer?
