Excellent post.

These are a few tips that all new or budding engineers should learn.

I used to tell my newbies that people who plan can succeed, those who do not will just always wonder what went wrong.

The hardest thing for new engineers to learn is that it is the planning process that is so valuable. That is the time when you consider risks and design/implementation options.

When the final plan becomes untenable, you can draw on those options to reduce blocks of capability to meet the new timeline.

Knowing what you can change that has the least impact on the final product is an invaluable bit of knowledge when negotiating with managers.
