Execution Standards
Execution is the ability to get things done.
- Use canonical docs
- Give every goal a numeric target
- Give every task a single owner, ETA, and status
- Report progress and latest expectations toward the target
- Share bad news in plain English
- Track milestones with a Gantt
- Execute-and-communicate over ask-and-wait
- Run weekly stand-ups when you're off track
- Run daily stand-ups when you're badly off track
- Make your target more aggressive if you rarely have bad news
