Take stock of all ongoing projects as well as the purpose and timeline for each of those projects. Clearly define the scope of upcoming milestones in every current (and new) project. Articulate the current priorities of the team, the purposes of those priorities, and the rationale behind making them priorities. Determine timeframes that you can predict (e.g., we are focused on X through the end of Q4) and highlight parallel work that will determine what comes next. Make sure project status is visible and that teams have visibility into each other’s work (e.g., standup meetings).
