In this episode, Ricardo discusses the dangers of prioritizing speed over strategy in project management. He says that being agile means adapting and learning quickly, not rushing in blindly. Urgency often leads to missed plans, poor decisions, and costly rework. Teams suffer under pressure, and when delays happen, they are unfairly blamed. Ricardo argues that a slower, more thoughtful start—with proper planning and stakeholder engagement—can accelerate long-term progress. He encourages leaders to educate stakeholders on the difference between rushing and smart acceleration. A realistic schedule is not a delay, but an investment in sustainable success.
