One of my favorite PM best practices is the project retrospective. Retrospectives involve considering what went well during a project (and what didn’t!) to determine lessons learned. These key takeaways are documented and shared so that future projects are better informed.

What’s a lesson you learned during your last project that you won’t soon forget?

What are project workflows?

They are processes, standards & templates that can be used across projects and teams. Project workflows can help ensure continued success across a portfolio of projects and support the alignment of your projects with your organizational priorities.

- Set a concrete deadline: Set a due date or block time for each task.

- Establish a scope or purpose: Understanding the “why” behind a task can motivate us to complete it.

How do you manage your tasks?

[Jami Bryan Yazdani @jamibryan]

How should I manage my own tasks?

There are so many tools and techniques for managing tasks and productivity, from to-do lists to time blocking.

Regardless of the format or structure...

accurately estimate task completion time and point out possible conflicts).

We should also try to build in as much extra time as possible, particularly ahead of inflexible dates and for dependent tasks.
