#Decision points

Decisions to make along the way

  • Which tasks have the highest impact?
  • What can wait?

#Approval points

No formal approval gate

This routine has no separate sign-off step, but review your work before it affects clients or finances.

#Success metrics

  • High-impact work done first
  • Balanced team workload

#Best practices

  • Prioritize by impact and deadline, not noise.
  • Rebalance when someone is overloaded.

#Common mistakes

  • Treating everything as urgent.
  • Ignoring workload balance.

#Realistic example

In practice

With ten tasks open, the lead picks the three that affect a client deadline this week and reassigns two from an overloaded teammate.
