Prioritizing the Requirements every day

Getting the right work done at the right time


There is a technique that should be gaining traction soon as it provides us with a solution on what to do now while sitting in the office. We should be able to decide whether we should do this task or some other one. The trick lies in dividing the task on the basis of the requirement. Lets see it in action.

From the current tasks at hand you should see whether this task is a "Must be done now", these are tasks that must be done urgently and are non-negotiable. These are usually jobs with strict time deadlines near by or the ones assigned by the upper management with the command to be done urgently.

Then there are tasks that “Should be done when possible” which boils down to tasks that need to be performed and it is better to do them sooner than later unless you have tasks of the previous variety. These are tasks assigned to you by your managers or supervisors and form the basis of your work in the office.
 
The next set of tasks will be “Could be done if needed” these are ones that are not essential at all, but can be performed when you have extra time. These are additional tasks that are not important to the office or even matters much to the daily affairs. This may also include the additional tasks that your friends or colleagues may be asking you to do in your free time.

The last category are tasks that "We won't be doing right now". These are tasks that you do not have complete information about right now is not the best time to be doing it. Doing it incorrectly would only result it in doing it again and loss of time and resources. Also the tasks that are unnecessary now we come under this tree.
