A clear framework and plan is essential to complete each task in time. A Wellington State of Project Management report revealed that one the biggest challenges faced by project managers is trying to accomplish more than one task at once. To prevent this from happening, have a clear breakdown of tasks that can be managed from the beginning, and then assign them according to their importance. Utilize techniques like the Pomodoro Technique and the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks. Encourage team members to focus first on the most pressing issues.
Another problem is not having a method to manage risk. By incorporating risk assessments into each project it is possible to avoid major obstacles like budget overruns, or delivery date delays that could derail a whole effort. It’s important to have procedures in place when issues occur so that everyone stays on the same page and focused on resolving issues instead of accusing others.
