SOLUTION GARDEN — PROJECT MANAGEMENT SIMPLIFIED​
Practical tools to keep your projects clear, focused, and drama-free.

✔ QUICK WIN OF THE WEEK

Before you build another 15-slide presentation, ask: What are the 3 most important things my audience needs to know?​
Put those on one page. Save the slides for when you truly need them.

🤔 REAL-WORLD SCENARIO

"Leadership wants updates, but no one reads my detailed reports."​
They're not ignoring you. They're likely overwhelmed. Try this: Lead with a one-page executive summary that hits the high points. Attach the detailed version for anyone who wants to dig deeper. Most won't. That's okay.

🔍 ASK ME ANYTHING

Q: How do I fit everything important on one page without leaving out key details?​
​A: Start with the decision your reader needs to make. Then include only the information that directly supports that decision. Everything else is context, so save it for the appendix or a follow-up conversation.

🔄 REPEATABLE PROCESS WORTH STEALING

The “Clarity Check”​
Before sharing a plan, hand it to someone outside the project. Ask:

• Do you know what we’re doing?
• Why we’re doing it?
• How success is defined?

If they can answer in 60 seconds, you’re good.
