Managing The Process
summary
Shows concrete steps: designate a process leader, dump everything into a wiki and template it, and use checklists to stop 3am panic. Demonstrations include a Trello+Zapier flow that auto‑creates lead cards with a checklist, a WordPress intranet (wpmu) and client portal, a tiny Chrome extension linking docs, and a move from Grunt to Gulp that actually saved time. Also prescribes weekly 10–15 minute check‑ins for a Team Six studio and recommends The Checklist Manifesto and E‑Myth.
