When there is too much attention on your project (The Eye of Sauron)

On [#stanier-effective-manager], 11th chapter:

Sometimes there can be excessive interest in whatever your team is doing. This can be evidence for explicit and implicit status requests all around the company (from both expected and unexpected places). The author calls that the Eye of Sauron.

This is stressful by nature. To navigate this well, one must:

• Keep the team aligned
• Over-communicate progress
• Keep the project open for feedback
• Release as often as possible
• Practice Software development pragmatism
• Think about this: SCRUM focus on knowledge acquision. It might help on packaging comms
