When I manage a project, I give it away and don't meddle. But if the project falls apart or my team asks for help, sometimes the only way I can catch up, or find out where the problem lies is to walk back through the development process from the beginning. Like most guys my process is probably different from someone else so I make changes as I go along. This sometimes gets viewed as micro- managing but the truth is, since I dont hover over a project it's the only I can get up to speed when I have to be involved.
