When budgets and staffing are tight, leaders must make intentional choices to support both delivery and the people doing the work. This session covers prioritization, workload pacing, and practical, workplace-appropriate approaches to self-care that help prevent burnout and make delivery more predictable.

Attendees will learn methods for shaping balanced portfolios, simplifying work with a variety of tools and embedding self-care and recovery practices into team norms. The session focuses on building sustainable operations supported by sustainable people.
