Managing Timelines

refoundai/lenny-skills

I've used this when stakeholders ask "when will it ship?" and I need to give an answer that won't haunt me three months later. The skill walks you through diagnosing whether you have an estimation problem, a scoping problem, or just unrealistic expectations, then applies frameworks from product leaders like using hill charts to visualize uncertainty or committing to discovery phases instead of distant delivery dates. The best part is the "ship early, iterate with remaining time" approach, which feels backwards but actually works. It's opinionated about treating real deadlines as P0 and ruthlessly protecting focus, which might not fit every team culture but makes the advice concrete enough to actually use.
