A late approval from a client or a vague project scope can derail the entire schedule, and with a small team there is no buffer of&nbsp;additional&nbsp;account managers, project&nbsp;planners&nbsp;or designers to help mitigate the disruption.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Creative Industry Trends Report shows that the two biggest barriers to on-time delivery are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clients not providing information on time (49%)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Poor project planning (15%)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these problems should show up and be resolved during project meetings.&nbsp;Many creative agencies, however, are not treating these meetings as a necessary tool and important part of managing projects.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Timelines that look fine on paper but fall apart in execution\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Operating in crisis mode versus proactive planning and control\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Team members at capacity but still unable to meet deadlines\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;need more meetings. You need better meeting habits to turn conversations into decisions, and decisions into delivery. Below are three meeting habits that small creative teams use to consistently deliver on time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"focus-on-decision-not-discussion\"><strong>1. Focus on a Decision, Not Just a Discussion<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project meetings often end with a good discussion but result in zero clarity. Everyone leaves feeling accomplished and aligned but quickly&nbsp;realize&nbsp;that nothing was&nbsp;finalized&nbsp;and no one is sure what needs to happen next.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Successful creative teams design their meetings around delivery decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this habit looks like in practice<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the meeting starts the organizer should define:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What decision needs to be made by the end of the meeting\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What work can start\u00a0immediately\u00a0after that decision\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Examples:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Approving project scope so resourcing can be finalized\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Locking timelines and milestones\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirming approvals and inputs\u00a0required\u00a0from clients\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The first line of every meeting agenda should define what needs to be decided on.

Therefore,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;necessary to use meetings to focus on what is missing and other challenges related to the project. If this&nbsp;doesn\u2019t&nbsp;happen,&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;easy for your creative team to assume that things are on track when they really&nbsp;aren\u2019t.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decision-focused meetings allow for clarity on:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What\u2019s\u00a0been approved versus what is still pending\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who\u00a0is responsible for\u00a0what and when\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What work can (or\u00a0can\u2019t) start based on the information available\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"separate-planning-from-commiting\"><strong>2.\u00a0Separate Planning from Committing<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small teams often try to plan and commit at the same time. Brainstorming ideas, estimating effort, and setting deadlines all in one meeting leads to optimistic timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Effective teams split this into two steps.<\/strong><strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
