Here’s another one of those technical skills that should be stamped onto the DNA of every project leader. If scheduling is bedrock to project management, than tasks are mortar that holds everything together. There are going to be tons of these pesky little jobs for you to create, assign, and manage – some of which will be dependent on others, meaning that mismanagement of this process can severely impact the success of your project. You can look at this as making a super to-do list, which is not entirely wrong, but as you add complexity you’ll also want to add the tools to help you manage these tasks more efficiently. You’ll want features in your task management tool that foster collaboration with your team, help you prioritize and give you instant status updates when tasks have been completed or are running behind.
