Prioritization for Active Work
The first level of prioritization discussed focuses on active work, emphasizing its critical role in ensuring effective team processes. This involves determining which ongoing tasks need immediate attention to drive progress, especially when resources are limited. For instance, when a team has multiple items in the development phase, the decision of which one to move to testing can significantly impact the workflow and predictability of outcomes.
