Time to Re-Align Your Priorities

Once again, we find our selves on the cusp of the big seasonal change. Between hot and cold, short-sleeves and long-sleeves, green and brown,  light and dark, Heffeweizen and Stout. The shortening daylight at the end of the workday makes it all too obvious that autumn is here in the northern half of the planet.



This is a great point in the year to take stock of things and make sure that we are keeping things in balance, perspective, and properly prioritized. Some areas to consider:

• your projects - are you balancing the needs of internal (budget) and external (scope, schedule) stakeholders? Do you have the right amount of focus on both short-term project requirements and long-term business and relationship goals? Where do you fall short and where are you over-extended?
• your products - how are you balancing the needs of users vs. the priorities of business? Are the two aligned and if not, how do you compensate?
• your life - that's what we're here for.
