And when on the receiving end of the deliverables list, it's always a good idea to make sure they are actually deliverable. There's nothing worse than a task where you can deliver one item and then have to rely on someone else to be able to deliver a second.

Was given a good tip to make sure each task had one deliverable and where possible—be completed independent of any other task.
