Pushing jelly

Pushing jelly refers to handling a messy, hard-to-control task where progress is slow and things often fall apart. Unlike moving a solid object, it requires patience and small, careful nudges to keep things together and guide them in the right direction.
Managing cross-team alignment without clear ownership? That’s not project management, it’s pushing jelly.
