A Special Case: Planning for the Holiday Season

Chapter Chapter 8 in Managing Projects in the Real World, 2014, pp 99-102 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Most PMs miss this: the special case of deliberately planning for the chaos that surrounds the holiday season. In the United States, that season starts around mid-November and runs through the first half of January, but the concepts discussed here are really holiday-agnostic, so they should apply to whatever holiday season you have to deal with. The critical thing, regardless of the holiday, is to deliberately plan for its challenges.
