September 1
Posted on August 20, 2007 - Filed Under My Strategy |
No project will ever be completed if deadlines are not set and maintained.
My attempts at maintaining a deadline have been weak at best. A few weeks back I was told September 1 would be missed.
A breach of September 1 is unacceptable.
This has become my mantra.
My role has become extremely active. The work has been broken down, re-assigned. No longer will projects be worked in series but rather in parallel; all the way to completion. New targets have been set and mentally I have tuned my brain to ensure these activities get done.
For the kitchen I am now personally responsible for getting that complete. Others are being pulled in, work is being farmed out, deliveries being made. We don’t stop.
Mikki has been tasked to completely 100% finish the electrical throughout the entire house. Every switch installed, every socket in place, all lights working.
The plumbing cannot be finished until two other items are completed. The installation of the granite and therefore the kitchen sink. At that point, the kitchen plumbing can be connected and the kitchen will be functional.
The other action is the balance of the travertine to be installed in the main bathroom. Along the wall and in the shower/bathtub area.
Looking over people’s schedules and seeing who is doing what, where and when - my confidence for September 1st completion is high.
