It's not rocket science. It's a Project Plan. While we here at Exhibit Associates utilize
Monday.com for our Project Management Software, and we utilize EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) as our Company Operating System, it still comes down to timelines and milestones for Project Management. It still takes people to be held accountable.
