Algorithms of work

While starting a business we will definitely try to organise the work around our ventures.

In this case we will need to understand how project management for small companies works.

Task management simple way.

What is a TASK? It is a focused activity to achieve intended result.

For example, cleaning apartment or drafting a contract would be a Task.

Some tasks consist of small actions, performing which you achieve better results. We call them – Algorithm.

When we clean an apartment, then watering plants, dusting, arranging dishes – they all will be steps of an algorithm.

Our experience shows: when we divide a Task (especially a recurring one) into steps (Algorithm), it considerably simplifies the work and raises our productivity.

Project management for small business.

When a Task appears to be complex and involves other tasks to be accomplished, it becomes a PROJECT. Each Project consists of a list of Tasks organised together to achieve a final result.

For example, renovating your apartment or creating a website would be a Project already.

It consists of different Tasks with different results, which happen at different time periods and have different execution routines.

Organising meetings and events.

If a Task happens during some specific period and involves interactions with other people – then it is a Meeting or an EVENT.

Meeting is a short-term task, when you meet other people to coordinate and discuss important questions.

Event is an occurrence involving some considerable efforts to organize or to participate in.

Let’s take some examples.

Our regular training would be a meeting. And a tournament would be an event.

Going for a date would be a meeting. And a marriage ceremony would be an event.

Summary of work organisation routine.

Basically that’s it – Tasks, Events and Projects.

These are the elements, we are dealing with while organizing our and other people work.

Task is a focused effort to achieve result. Every Task is easier to accomplish, if it is organized in steps of an algorithm.

When the main point of a task is dealing or collaborating with other people, then it is a meeting or Event.

Project is such a big task, that it involves other tasks to be completed to achieve the intended result.
