"I've found it's rare for everything to go according to plan. With that in mind, I always plan for unforeseen circumstances. I try to anticipate how much a project derailment will cost, and I plan for that time. However, the deadlines I deliver to my team do not reflect that extra time. I strive to deliver early, and the padding allows for more flexibility and less stress when forced to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. It also allows flexibility to seize opportunities we might discover along the way that could allow us to deliver above and beyond."
