FEATURED WHITE PAPER
By Terry Doerscher
HOW-TO GUIDE: Developing an Integrated Work Prioritization Process
Common agreement on priorities is vital in matrix organizations because of the need for people from diff erent teams or
groups to collaborate to get almost anything of business value accomplished. In lieu of a consistent method to evaluate
and score inbound requests, individuals, team leads, or managers are left to assess priority based on their own perspectives
and information available. Diff erent conclusions almost always result, which hampers teamwork.
