Your first date

The most difficult of all dates is the first one – speaking project related here….it could come and go without even a notice, which is unfortunate because it’s typically a good reflection of how the rest of the project will proceed. Did you hit the date? If so, did you make it with achieving the full intent of the delivery? Did anyone applaud? Was the associated task meaningful and the delivery justifiable to the effort of tracking it? Don’t put to little of a meaning on the first project date, it could easily determine the long term relation if you’re objective and open enough to appreciate it.
