Organize Your Life with the Agile Method

Whether one is planning their wedding or building an online portal, there is a multitude of tasks that have to be completed on time and within the budget that has been set.

The Agile method proposes a ranked list of priorities to accomplish the same.

Example: If there are 10 tasks in the list, one can rank each one with a number from one to ten. Only one number is allotted to a task so that two tasks cannot have the same level of priority.

There are many tasks in which we might be inclined to assign the same level of priority as there is no way one task is less important than the other.

In this case, we need to assign a criticality level to the task, assigning one of the four levels:

1. Critical
2. High
3. Medium
4. Low

The ones with a high priority ranking and a high criticality level are to be done first and foremost, followed by lower levels and priorities. It is best to work with prioritization and criticality together.

The core technique of achieving progress is to break down tasks into small, doable tasks.

• One large task can appear daunting and undoable, but breaking it down to small subtasks can help us assign different levels of priority and criticality to the subset.
• It helps to use an app that lets us set color codes and reminders to our to-do list.
• The Agile Prioritization technique is helpful in professional and personal projects, like planning a training session, or remodeling your house.
