Planning the Project

함께 그리는 큰 그림

The whole team finally gathered around one table. "Now that the budget's approved, we can start," I said. You could feel the energy shift.
Someone asked whether we'd go with plan A or plan B. "Either way, we'll need it done by Friday," I reminded everyone. The deadline didn't care which one we picked.
We started thinking through what could go wrong. "Let's say the client wants more changes," I offered. Planning for it now would save us later.
People weren't sure where to begin. "I'd suggest starting with the easy parts," I said. Small early wins build momentum.
The scope looked huge on the whiteboard. "It might be better to split this into two phases," I added. Everyone nodded — suddenly it felt doable.
