Most project management decisions don’t arrive as big, dramatic moments.
They show up quietly—mid-meeting, mid-Slack thread, mid-day—when someone asks a question and work is about to move forward. There isn’t time to workshop it. There isn’t a template to pull up.
You make a call.
When PMs struggle in these moments, it’s rarely because they lack process. It’s because momentum is moving faster than shared understanding.
This is a simple gut check to use when something feels slightly unclear, slightly rushed, or just important enough to pause for a beat.
