Organization Video Analysis

Organization

As for as organization goes, Nick really needs to get caught up speed. The team has plenty of tasks to be completed with this project so the first thing they want to do is set goals and stay focused on them. These goals are what they should follow day in and day out to achieve success.

I think that Nick should get a calendar. Whether it's an old-fashioned desk calendar or the latest synced digital application based calendar, the key is to use it religiously. Also, as Debbie mentioned he should utilize a Gantt Chart. While there are a number of reasons to use Gantt charts below are five key reasons they are often advantageous:

1. Avoid Completion Confusion: Gantt charts were created to keep users on track, providing a visual timeline for starting and finishing specific tasks. By providing a visual overview of milestones and other key dates, these charts are thought to offer a more understandable and memorable method of maintaining timescale-based tasks and deliverables whether tracked on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. Below diagram shows the power of visualization found in Gantt charts. In a glance you can see that the interviews are done, there 50% more to do in training etc.

2. Keep Everyone on the Same Page: Where there is a visual framework for the work to be done, there are fewer chances for misunderstanding, especially when it comes to highly complex tasks. Using Gantt charts allow all types of stakeholders to have the same information, set mutually understood expectations, and conduct their efforts according to the desired protocol.

3. Understand Task Relationships: These charts can make clear how various tasks are interrelated and perhaps rely on the completion of another to meet specific objectives. These task relationships revolve around understanding the timing of each task, which then impacts other tasks listed. This can better assure the optimum work flow, maximized productivity and overall project success.
