Make sure you get the commitment from the
business and your boss – work hard to keep it
Give yourself time to think – it’s time well
invested
Don’t be afraid to say no and tell it like it is
Accept that you won’t get it right all the time
Accept that you can’t make everybody happy
Keep documentation to a strict minimum
