“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”
First question: why did it slip? If the answer is one bad estimate, fine, reset the date and move. If this is the third slip, you have a diligence problem in your own shop. Cut the launch list to what is verifiably done, ship that, and tell the team the truth.
People rally around a real close date, not a hopeful one.
