Everything's Important But Nothing Is Getting Done

Everything's Important But Nothing Is Getting Done 

The story of how one company overcame being overwhelmed, reorganized how they worked, and improved.

Highlights:

    "High", "Medium" and "Low" priority, as is used by much project mgmt software, is useless.  You have to instead look at urgency and impact.

        "High-medium-low" prioritization lacks enough detail to resolve conflicts.
It lacks a common language or framework for what “high” or “low” mean, and how to compare different priorities against each other. When most people talk about something being “high priority”, what they really mean is that the project has some combination of urgency and impact. Both of those are measurable or quantifiable parameters, but the informality of traditional prioritization glosses over them.


    Figure out what aspect of work you're missing by seeing how people feel.
