The Delivery Manager Daily

Ep 85: Deadlines & Detours


Listen Later

This week on Delivery Manager Daily, I'm joined by Matthew Barrington-Packer — product, delivery and transformation leader, creator of the VOLTS Method, author of Just Fcking Ship It, and host of Deadlines & Detours.


Matthew works with teams who are stuck in the fog of delivery: too many meetings, too little decision-making, too much theatre, and not enough shipping. In this conversation, we get into what it really takes to move work from vague intent to visible progress, why good ideas often die in polite rooms, and how the VOLTS Method helps teams turn stuck work into shipped outcomes.


We also discuss Matthew’s book, Just Fcking Ship It*, the thinking behind Deadlines & Detours, and the human reality of delivery, change, product leadership and transformation work when plans meet pressure.
