From experience, the biggest challenge when starting a project is unclear roles and responsibilities — in simple terms: "Who owns what?" When this isn't defined, it leads to: - Tasks falling through the cracks - Project delays due to a lack of ownership - Micromanagement and duplicated effort, since no one knows who’s responsible for what I've seen cases where two people unknowingly work on the same task, or worse — nobody does it at all. It creates confusion, wastes time, and erodes team trust. A strategy that’s worked well for us is defining which "hat" each team member is wearing at the start of the project. That means: - Clarifying their role - Outlining their key responsibilities - Setting expectations and measurable outcomes This simple step eliminates ambiguity and gets everyone aligned from day one.
