Relay Project Management (RPM) is a method where team members pass responsibilities and tasks like a baton in a relay race. Each member of the team is assigned specific, clear tasks for which they are responsible, and once they complete their part, they “pass the baton” to the next person in line. Unlike traditional project management models that may rely on sequential or parallel task completion, Relay Project Management focuses on continuous handoffs, collaboration, and maintaining momentum throughout the entire project lifecycle.

    The method differs from more conventional approaches in that it prioritizes agility and real-time collaboration. It’s designed to handle projects that require a quick turnaround and involve diverse expertise, where the timely transfer of information and responsibilities between team members is crucial.
