Understand what partners need and what can be realistically offered. Manage expectation around what is needed and how long it will realistically take for it to be delivered.
For example, it can take several weeks for a design product to be delivered, due to its creative nature. Allowing as much creative space as possible helps ensure high-quality output, while rushing the creative process can be detrimental to Gitcoin’s brand.
Additionally, monitor the workload of team members, as well as their upcoming tasks. Manage workflows in a way that protects people's time when necessary, while ensuring they always have work. Help team members avoid too much context switching by limiting the amount of projects a given team members has at one time.

A large part of MMM Ops is overseeing special projects that may be large or ambiguous in nature. This requires staying informed about upcoming projects through colleague DMs and coordination calls.
When you hear of a new project, discuss with the project lead whether you will oversee it or they will. If you take on responsibility for overseeing it, ask who should be included in the project kickoff call.
Regardless of who oversees the project, create the new project folder in clickup with all relevant tasks so that they can be delegated and tracked. (See Keep Clickup up-to-date).
