After 9 months of pregnancy, you’d think a baby would be ready to come charging out. As mothers are well aware (as are fathers, grandparents, nurses, and doctors), the baby is too comfortable, and does not wish to come out. Sometimes delivery has to be induced.

Projects at work follow a similar pattern. Large or small, if they are important, projects are like babies waiting to be born. When the time comes, be prepared to deliver (pun intended). Push hard, push as much as you have to, push safely. Epidurals are not always available. Your co-workes are watching how you deal with the pain.
