It’s interesting how difficult it can be to collaborate with a looming deadline. An upcoming deadline usually causes a person to realize they must do something quickly which leads them to cut out possible points of delay – other people.
The impact that outside eyes and thoughts can have is tremendous. Sometimes it is the difference between something being logical and completely off base. A 15 minute read through with comments doesn’t impact most deadlines and can make the result that much better. Never forget to include that outside perspective – even if you choose not to incorporate their thoughts. It will make everything you do stronger.
