1 and 2 alone will give you 80% of the results.
I support 80/20 principle & Eisenhour matrix the most and it generate amazing results for me almost everytime.
Hey Dylan Jacobs IMC Dip PFS, features one of the models I mentioned! ;-)
Every "Yes" we say today is just a "No" to something we thought was important yesterday. As leaders, this can kill a team's momentum. Great tools for avoiding that, Jay.
When we say 'yes' to non-priorities, we set ourselves up for burnout and disappointment.
Pareto principle is gold and a game changer. Saying no to many things leads us to a much bigger and impactful yes. cheers Jay Mount Great share mate.
Good one Jay Mount. 1 & 2 are my favs. In the next article would love to hear your thoughts on measuring the productivity in an unambiguous way, yet keep the innovation and creativity on the rise, especially in the Product release world.
It's so necessary 🔥
I'm all in for using RICE - nothing beats making decisions backed by cold, hard data. Tried it last quarter for a project selection and let me tell you, it was a game changer! It took out so much guesswork and emotional bias.
