Too Many Tasks

Steven Vore: “Now when anyone brings me a task and interrupts my work, I turn to the board and ask if itâ€ s important enough to keep these stories from being completed by the end of the week. If they say yes, I cross the story off the whiteboard, making it plain that theyâ€ ve made a decision to change priorities for me and my team. Iâ€ ve found that this helps provide focus to other managers as well — and that can only help reduce frustration throughout the organization.”
