Nice reading! When someone steps away and others can repeat the core responsibilities without improvising or reinventing, you’ve built resilience. That’s when process maturity and people development really show up.
Thanks William, glad it resonated! And yes, well said about process maturity and people development, that should be the goal. To create a team-oriented environment where people can without issues take longer time off and the process keeps going normally.
1 - team delivered all planned actions. They were really well prepared for execution.
2 - team rallies across a big incident and solved it. They were really well prepared to understand what is P0.
3 - Main issue: when P0 bs P1 is not that clear, stakeholders fighting against each other. That is were my role as senior lead comes into play, so not surprised that this is where they struggled
Oh, that's interesting and also great to hear! You are definitely doing things right in your role and your team is well prepared. And I can relate with P0 vs P1 issue because for business people a lot of things are "urgent", where in reality a lot of them really aren't.
Really clear definition of Priorities helped me with this. But yeah, it doesn't work all the time, especially if one of the stakeholders is pushing heavily for one side.

1 set of 7 weeks
1 set of 5 weeks
All within 18 months.
Key aspects:
1 - team delivered all planned actions. They were really well prepared for execution.
2 - team rallies across a big incident and solved it. They were really well prepared to understand what is P0.
3 - Main issue: when P0 bs P1 is not that clear, stakeholders fighting against each other. That is were my role as senior lead comes into play, so not surprised that this is where they struggled
