Spend as much time preparing to leave a project as you did when you prepared to get onboard.
This means ensuring context is captured, keeping relationships intact, and enabling the team to keep the momentum going.
Our beginnings get the ball rolling. Our execution on the project builds momentum. And the quality of our exit determines how much of that momentum is sustained.
Every beginning will inevitably have an ending. No surprises there.
Both matter equally – best to give endings their due.
