In my experience, encouraging teams under pressure involves the following procedures:

  1. Provide Recognition of Efforts and Challenges: Allow the team to understand that their effort is appreciated.
  2. Break Down Goals:​ Divide huge tasks into smaller, consumable milestones to maintain their focus and momentum.
  3. Communicate Openly: Schedule regular check-in sessions and direct updates in order to reduce uncertainty and allow your team to express its concerns.
  4. Provide Support: Identify whether the resources supporting the team are available and adjust the workload based on the resources' availability.
  5. Celebrate Wins: Highlight every little success. This increases morale, and the team feels that some progress is being made.

These make the team stay motivated and work under pressure.
