Before I say “yes” to a project, I ask myself 5 questions:
* What problem are we actually solving?
* Who will use this product?
* What does success look like?
* Does the scope match the budget and timeline?
* Can we build and maintain it properly?
If these answers aren't clear, adding more features won't fix the project.
Clarity before code.
That's one rule I try to follow in every project I work
Executive support in action:
I manage high-volume inboxes, coordinate projects in Trello,
Planed social media content calendars,
Kept executive schedules running smoothly, so leaders can focus on what matters most etc.
Great mix of skills. Keeping everything organized makes a huge difference.
