I create a project plan. What are the functional requirements for an MVP and work backwards until I can get task that can be done in no more than a couple of days. If it’s a solely project, I break down only the work for the current “epic” or “work stream”.

My current job (consulting) has me going back and forth between requirements gathering and proposal writing, tech lead/some project management and hands on implementations for smaller projects that don’t require a team. I have some project management training - just enough to be effective.

I don’t even think about lines of code. I think in terms of task completion.

For personal projects and even to juggle multiple projects at work I have personal Trello boards
