Next Steps for Beyond Deadlines
Update from Beyond Deadlines
Watch on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts
We started this over a year ago to give planners and schedulers the kind of value we always wished we had. Not theory in a vacuum, but tools that help you win the next progress meeting. That vision is driving our next move. We are shifting from conversation-first to asset-first, building practical, reusable material you can pick up, tweak, and deploy. We are testing this now, learning in public, and expanding only what actually helps you deliver faster, with less risk, and with fewer headaches.
Key Takeaways
Asset library over talk alone. We want to publish download-ready specs, plan templates, forecasting methods, and checklists you can logo, adjust, and use this month.
Thread the needle. We aim to steer between corporate tribal knowledge and broad certification material so the guidance is specific enough to work and general enough to reuse.
Guided by a simple growth formula. We want content shaped by ambition, discipline, skill, and opportunity so teams build capability, not just collect tips.
Quality before cadence. We are considering fewer chatty episodes in favor of episodes tied to a tangible asset that moves a project forward.
Multi-format by design. We plan to try shipping each asset as a document, a short explainer video, and a podcast walk-through so different roles can learn their way.
Prune low-value work. We want to drop channels and habits that do not reach you, then reinvest that time into the assets you ask for.
Tactical Takeaway
Run a 45-minute Let It Go session with your project controls team this week:
Each person lists three recurring reports or reviews that soak time but rarely change decisions.
Quiet vote to surface the top two.
Cut one now by pausing distribution for two cycles or replacing it with a one-page snapshot.
Reinvest the saved hours into a reusable asset, for example a one-page Schedule Management Plan starter or a Baseline Review checklist, then pilot it on the next update cycle.
