In my opinion, it is very important that projects are properly prioritized and that every member of the team understands the details around priority that the project holds. Ultimately, successfully prioritizing tasks in each project will impact the success of the team and success of the project itself. The skill required from project managers is that they need to be able to distinguish between critical and important tasks and activities. Project managers also are required to ensure concurrence of prioritization of tasks amongst team members. Upon completion of prioritization of tasks, the project manager needs to monitor prioritized tasks to ensure any changes are made to the program and/or tasks deprioritized. This step takes into consideration assessment of appropriate resources, time, and effort from the team in order to accomplish the project plan. Reporting the project status to management is also a critical activity so they can make the appropriate decisions to move forward or kill a program.
