Deliver what matters-without burning out your team.Most projects are judged by what ships. The best are judged by what ships and how the team felt shipping it. Thrive by Design turns positive psychology into a practical operating system for project work-so people flourish, risks surface early, and delivery becomes steadier sprint after sprint.Inside, you'll learn to: Build a one-page Team PERMA & HERO charter that hard-wires purpose, safety, and momentum.Staff strengths-first and use a simple "task market" to put the right people on the right work.Install micro-rituals that raise honesty and focus: win/blocker/ask, Timeout for risks, and gratitude rounds.Protect flow with maker-time blocks, WIP limits, and clean "definition of done."Run Appreciative Inquiry retros that scale what works (not just fix what broke).Track lightweight metrics that connect team well-being to cycle time, quality, and predictability.Pivot calmly with hope maps (multiple pathways, contingencies, and exit criteria).Who it's for: Project managers, product/tech leads, operations and design managers, founders, and nonprofit program leads working in Agile, hybrid, or stage-gate environments.What you get: Checklists, meeting scripts, a two-week starter plan, a reusable Happiness Backlog, and templates you can run this week.Positive psychology isn't a gloss-it's an engineering choice.Design for meaning, safety, strengths, and clear measures, and you'll ship with consistency while your team finishes with energy for the next challenge.
