Task Prioritization Best Practices
Priority helps turn a project into an ordered sequenced of tasks and sub-tasks where each item comes up according to its importance or/and urgency. Right prioritization tells team members what assignments they must do first and in which order. And project managers use priorities to accommodate their decision making and focus on the most critical issues.
CentriQS features several priority setting tools, including Urgent-Important Matrix, or the ABCD ranking set. You can set A, B, C, or D for a task. The A priority means a task is both important and urgent. The B priority means an important but nor urgent task… The C priority and the D priority refer to as urgent but not important and not important, not urgent accordingly. This prioritization approach enables to manage the top rankings of your project and address task interruptions and distractions.
Report on Project Performance

Everything can be filtered and sorted. Your report can be printed out as well as exported into popular formats inducing Excel, HTML, PDF.
