Project management notes to self

1. Panic early. Reduce features and complexity early, you can always add them later. Better than having to drop them at the last minute.
2. Clear roles and responsibilities - obvious but doesn't always happen. Who do I have to ask to get X approved...
3. Before you say no to an idea make sure you have an alternative to propose -
4. Don't fiddle with time estimates just because they are inconvenient.
5. Don't isolate yourself from critical voices.
