Triple tasking is almost multi tasking…and just like real-life.
What is it like when three projects are running simultaneously? How do you organise and co-ordinate the different processes? How do you communicate your own contribution when an engineer and a marketing person are involved. How does collaboration in a team work? How do you finish up a project professionally?

2_project...for cooking and the kitchen
