More often, they struggle because teams move forward without a shared understanding of what they are actually trying to achieve. In this conversation, Cornelius Fichtner continues his discussion with Danielle Naomi McCier, Creative Operations leader and author of “Wrangling Chaos,” focusing on what happens after a project is already in motion. The discussion shifts from identifying why projects drift into confusion to understanding how project managers can actively restore clarity, guide decisions, and keep work moving forward in fast-paced environments such as creative agencies. Danielle shares practical techniques for clarifying objectives, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring that teams do not default into rework cycles caused by early misunderstandings. She emphasizes that project clarity is not a one-time activity but an ongoing responsibility that requires attention, communication, and structure throughout execution.
