How to Implement an Effective Workflow

[asikurrahman]

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

This Zen proverb - not by chance - is perfectly suited to managing work projects.

Whatever challenge we face, it helps to approach it calmly, transforming a project that seems enormous and looming into a series of small steps , which are much less scary.

And here project management software forces us to put the afghanistan telegram lead project down on paper, breaking it down into a series of specific tasks and subtasks . Each task will have its deadline and can be linked to the next one, defining a specific workflow. Furthermore, each task will be assigned to a specific manager within the team.

This helps us to have an overview of the project and at the same time to keep track of the “small steps”, thanks to visually well-organized dashboards (better than a board of notes or post-its stuck on a whiteboard).

Centralization of communication
Every morning a marketer wakes up and knows that… he has to open Asana , or Trello or whatever.

The use of digital platforms helps a lot in managing internal communications , for a number of reasons.

1. Autonomy in managing one's own activities
Everyone sees their own tasks and deadlines, and can organize their day accordingly. This avoids the fear of micromanagement, or having a manager who is constantly “sticking his nose” into your work. But at the same time, it allows said manager to have an overview of the workloads assigned to the various team members and when he can likely expect a delivery.

2. Net reduction of emails
It is true that all these platforms can send notifications via email, to avoid losing updates, but it is also true that with this system you avoid redundant emails, those with bizarre subjects, the eternal replies to all... All conversations are organized by project , and it is much easier to trace the history of the information you need.
