Project Cookbook: One tough product decision appetizer

Recipe from tsykora's Project Cookbook.

This appetizer is a brilliant choice for basically any multi course menu you are going to prepare. It combines all the beautiful flavours into one delicious delivery. Doesn't matter who exactly is preparing this one but you will need:

1x Product Manager

2x Managers/Leads from any team - depends on the taste of consumers

1x Well prepared document with risks and benefits

1x 15 minutes long meeting

1x Summary email with results


This one is all about preparation and quality of your ingredients. I definitely do not recommend to stew 1x Project Manager on 1x 15 minutes long meeting without 1x Well prepared document with risks and benefits shared in ADVANCE. In some cases if you need to be quick in the kitchen you can also use 1x Well prepared email instead of document but the result might be slightly different.

So, start with putting together 2x Managers/Leads from any team who are dealing with a special problem. Most of the times there is a clash of priorities and decision has to be made. Such decision is tough and usually not possible to be done without 1x Product Manager. If possible and if you are lucky you will have 1x PM and 2x Managers that work together very well. Put them out of the fridge gently and let 2x Managers talk.

Meanwhile prepare 1x Doc with risks and benefits. You need the decision about appetizer but you are not able to do it alone. Doc needs to be washed, dried, cleaned and cut on small pieces. Talk about benefits and risks openly and do your homework. Once you are finished, put this Doc together with 1x PM into a bowl and let it rest for 1 to 2 days if you are not in a big hurry.

Once rested, the PM should already absorbed the flavour from the Doc and this mix is prepared for 15 minutes long meeting. Better check before the meeting whether PM really absorbed all the flavour from Doc because if not you will have to boil everything for 30 minutes or even an hour.

Now - put everything into one big pot - PM, 2x Managers, Doc and 15 minutes meeting. You will have to boil it slowly and stir with wooden spoon. If it's too hot, immediately lower the heat level by using a small joke or telling that everybody is on the same page and pulling in one direction. If that does not help you will need to put the pot out of the cooker for a moment and let it cool down. If the decision has been made you are 90 % done at this moment and you can congratulate yourself. 

Bring in a promise that you will serve 1x Summary email with results with the rest of the family and start serving. The family can be small, medium or even very large. If you serve the very large family, keep things simple though and make sure you spend extra time during preparation of 1x Summary email with results.

And that's it - here you go. This appetizer is recommended for all dishes and in some cases you will need it either way. Sometimes the cooking time might be a bit longer, depends on the ingredients and how much strong taste you want for the appetizer. Also, if you are preparing this for a wider family you will need more ingredients. Use 4x or 6x Managers if needed and have ready even STRONGER 1x Well prepared document with risks and benefits. Then it should all work out well. 

Bon Appetit and let me know how your cooking went!
