    Primeiramente fazer uma análise de Esforço X Impacto para entender o cenário em que se está posto. Sabendo-se dos Quick Wins você consegue entregar valor ao cliente de forma rápida enquanto planeja outras etapas para entregá-las com qualidade e no tempo previsto. Além disso é importante ter conhecimento e engajamento do time, para garantir que as pessoas com melhores habilidades para cada da tarefa passam assumi-las e estarem engajadas na entrega. Contar com um software que organize as tarefas de forma eficiente é fundamental, para planejar, acompanhar e medir resultados e esforços, para que seja possível além disso rastrear possíveis impactos e ter uma tomada de decisão a tempo para não prejudicar a entrega final.

    Managing multiple project timelines with limited resources can be challenging, but it is achievable with a strategic approach. For eg. 1. Identify the most critical projects and allocate resources accordingly. You can use frameworks like the MoSCoW method (Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, Won’t Have) to prioritize tasks and ensure essential deadlines are met. 2. Dividing projects into smaller, manageable phases allows for better control and helps prevent bottlenecks. 3. Map out the available resources (people, budget, time) and allocate them based on project priority. 4. Set Realistic Deadlines, regular progress reviews and resource pooling if required.
