From mundane chores at home to tasks at work, most of our days are spent planning, working, monitoring and completing tasks. The ability\u00a0to create and Manage tasks at work is fundamental to\u00a0the success of us as individuals and the businesses we work for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In this tutorial we cover all you need to know to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/project-planning-complete-tutorial\/\">plan and organize your projects<\/a> by creating tasks, managing them and making sure they are completed on time and on the budget. Every startup should learn\u00a0the lessons covered in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Manage Tasks:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In the paragraphs below, we have listed what you need to do to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2017\/11\/task-management-software\/\">manage tasks correctly<\/a> and seamlessly in your projects. Tasks are the fundamental building blocks of projects and should be treated as business IP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>1-Things to do at Start of a project<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">When starting to work\u00a0on projects, it is not always clear what needs to be done and where to start. The project\u00a0may be small or large, short in duration or longer. The very first thing you need to do in the project is to define what we plan to\u00a0deliverable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">What is the goal of the product or service you and your team are working hard to accomplish? When the goal is clear, planning to get there is much more obvious and straightforward. After you have set the goal, you need to establish a timeline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">When do you plan to deliver the product or the service? In most cases, the delivery date is dictated by the customer, your management because of business objectives and constraints or by the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Now that you know what you need to accomplish and when it is time to figure out the steps you need to take to get there on time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>2-Make a list and create tasks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Make a list of high-level things you need to do to finish the project. Don&#8217;t worry about small details just yet, stick with high-level features and functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you are building a house, you will list all major tasks you need to accomplish to start and finish\u00a0building the house. Things like getting all permits. Clearing the land, building the foundation, plumbing, electrical work etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Spend enough time in creating this list with your team to make sure the list is complete. You want to make sure you have covered all major tasks in your project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">After you have a complete list in hand, it is time to work on each entry in the list. To do this right you need to\u00a0understand the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2013\/08\/benefits-of-work-breakdown-structure\/\">Work Breakdown Structure<\/a> or WBS process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">WBS\u00a0helps you to break down each major functionality to smaller tasks. After you do the first pass breaking down a major feature, keep refining it by breaking tasks you have created into smaller tasks which are called sub-tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Keep doing this until all tasks in your list are small and well understood such that it is easy to estimate how long it takes to finish them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>3-Estimate each task<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Now that you have created the tasks in your project, it is time to estimate how long each task will take. This is a tricky undertaking and most new project managers fail at this step. There is a belief for creative work you cant do the estimation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This is a total fallacy. \u00a0You can make accurate estimates by grouping your tasks as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Simple tasks that are well understood<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Tasks\u00a0which are hard, but\u00a0your team or other teams have done this in the past.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Tasks that need research<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The way to come up with right task estimate for each group is different. A well understood and easy task is much easier to estimate for\u00a0than tasks which need research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The best way for task estimation is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/the-best-way-to-estimate-tasks\/\">three-point task estimation<\/a>\u00a0for all three groups. What is different for each group is the factor that you will use to come up with the final estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For easy tasks, use the estimate you get from 3 point estimation and use them as is. For hard tasks, you need to consider the maturity and experience of your team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For experienced teams uses a factor of 1.25 X of the number you get from three-point estimation. For less experienced team use a factor of 1.5 X. For tasks involving research, you need to make sure that your team is experienced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Otherwise, no estimation will be accurate. In fact, if you have an inexperienced team you are better off not working on projects which need research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For experienced teams who have worked on this type of project\/research before use 2.0 X \u00a0from the estimate calculations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">For\u00a0tasks which require research, we usually create a separate project for the research part. If the research is successful then we go ahead to the implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This approach works for cases where the fate of\u00a0project doesn&#8217;t depend on the outcome of the research. In these projects, we could have contingency plans in place. If task A can&#8217;t be done, then we will do B or C.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In cases that the entire project depends on the outcome of the research, you are better off to drop everything else and just concentrate on that task. This way you will find out sooner later than later if the project is viable or not and you should continue or drop it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>4-Prioritize your\u00a0Tasks based on value &amp; effort<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Not all tasks are made equal. In most cases, there are tasks which bring more value to the product or service you plan to\u00a0deliver than other tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If your project in under time constraints as most projects are, you need to choose which tasks are absolutely needed and which tasks could be cut or deferred until another version or sprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">This is a crucial step to manage tasks by getting the order and priority of implementing tasks right. Tasks which take a long time and have little business value should be dropped first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In Agile project management, this process is much easier, since tasks which take a long time or those which their value is not clear yet, could be pushed to future sprints for consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>5-Track Tasks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Now that you have made your tasks and the project has begun, you need to start to manage tasks and track them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">A good tool for managing and tracking project is essential. Make sure your tool includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/introduction-gantt-chart-software\/\">interactive Gantt chart software<\/a>. In my opinion, a Gantt chart is the best tool for tracking projects and tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">To have a real and up to date picture of each task, you need a system that allows those working on the task to update the status of the task daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In addition, make sure each member writes a brief status report at end of each day about the progress made on finishing the task and if there is an issue the management and the team need to be aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you are new to project management, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/introduction-task-management-tutorial\/\">task management<\/a>\u00a0seems like a\u00a0daunting and boring endeavor.
