Pipeline Accelerator Insight #8: Plan New Product Projects in Small Batch Sizes
To move faster, you should plan new product projects in small batch sizes.
Good managers don’t micromanage, but leaving work in large blocks for executive reporting is a mistake that obscures your view of real progress.
How to Implement Small Batch Planning
- Define the Window: Break work into tasks that take only 1 to 5 days. Anything longer makes it impossible to visualize flow.
- Focus on Hand-offs: Small batches highlight where work sits idle, allowing you to clear bottlenecks before they stall the pipeline.
- Avoid Micromanagement: Use these batches for visibility and flow, not for hovering over every detail of the team’s execution.
By choosing to plan projects in small batches, you ensure your innovation pipeline stays moving while maintaining clear visibility on the goal.
