In an excellent bit, the comedian Kevin Hart talks about how small problems become big problems. I can't do it justice, so here it is below: 

Hart isn't talking about project management or books; he's talking about couples. Make no mistake, though: the same maxim applies on all projects and books in particular.

I've seen this movie before: A series of misunderstandings brings a project to its breaking point. Clients walk away angry, slam their service providers, and refuse to pay for services not rendered to their satisfaction.

What to do?

## The Solution

Today, I'm pleased to announce that [RacketHub](https://www.racketpublishing.com/products/rackethub/) now ships with a simple daily poll feature. In short, it allows project managers, clients, ghostwriters, and publishers to identify small problems before they morph into larger ones. By answering a one-question poll every day, the project manager or publisher can take everyone's pulse.

The survey couldn't be simpler. RacketHub clients and project participants just fill out this daily form:

In the example below, see how two people are equally satisfied with the direction of the project when it begins. After a few days, though, a gap appears. It only widens over time.

This simple functionality certainly won't eliminate every potential source of conflict on a book project. If used regularly, however, it will help the parties involved resolve issues before they metastasize—especially on remote and hybrid projects.
