You're juggling multiple facilitation deadlines. How do you decide which tasks to tackle first?
When multiple facilitation deadlines loom, strategic task prioritization becomes your lifeline. Here's how to efficiently decide what to tackle first:
- Evaluate urgency and importance. Identify which tasks have the nearest deadlines and highest stakes.
- Consider task dependencies. Start with tasks that others rely on to progress in their work.
- Break down large tasks. Tackle them in manageable chunks to maintain momentum and avoid burnout.
How do you prioritize when everything feels urgent? Share your strategies.

"Dime el nivel de efectividad de tus decisiones y te diré tu capacidad para priorizar". Un facilitador efectivo es aquel que ayuda al equipo a desarrollar la capacidad para priorizar. Como facilitador de equipos ágiles, me aseguro que aprendan técnicas para priorizar, entre las más importantes: 1. Matriz de Eisenhower (urgente vs importante). 2. Matriz de Esfuerzo vs Valor (a mayor valor y menor esfuerzo es el escenario ideal). 3. Técnica MoSCoW (must have, should have, could have wont′have). 4. Técnica RICE (recha, impact, confidence, effort). Luego de facilitar estas herramientas claves en diferentes situaciones, ya estamos listos poner en práctica alguna técnica y tomar decisiones en el equipo, funciona muy bien!

When we are having multiple projects with the same deadlines, on nearing the release dates 1) Make a To do list before starting the daily scrum or meeting where the entire teams will be a part of and discuss clearly on the priority tasks and blockers in team's progress. 2) Ask team to close the most important tasks first. Set time to close the build and keep following up with teams. 3) If team needs more expertise support, schedule a dedicated war room calls and ask the team to work together in a call and close it ASAP. 4) Ask team to timebox each task. Provide support such as code review, code merge and deployment activities from the respective spocs and make sure there's no more waste time for the development team after the build.
