Dealing with economic uncertainty, how do you manage a stakeholder pushing for unrealistic project timelines?
In the face of economic uncertainty, managing project timelines becomes a delicate balancing act. You're tasked with delivering results while navigating the choppy waters of stakeholder expectations. It's not just about numbers; it's a psychological game, too. Stakeholders may push for timelines that seem disconnected from economic realities, leaving you to bridge the gap between optimism and feasibility. Your challenge is to manage these expectations without compromising the project's success or your team's morale. This requires a blend of economic savvy, clear communication, and strategic negotiation.
