Legal project management tip of the month: Talk to your team about the budget

Communicate the budget and hourly expectations for each task to your team.  Then ask the person who is responsible for each task to estimate how long they think it will take.  If there is a large gap between their estimate and yours, discuss why and consider revising the estimate.

This is the first in a new series of posts, which will appear on the first Wednesday of every month.  Each tip will summarize a very simple tactic to improve project management.
