Overview
A practical framework for triaging incoming work before applying process - distinguishing what genuinely needs full PM discipline from what needs a simple checklist, and what just needs a conversation.
Why you should Attend
You already know that building a full project plan for every task guarantees you'll never finish anything - and you also know that skipping the plan on the wrong task is how a "quick favor" becomes the thing that blows up your quarter. This session gives you a diagnostic for telling the two apart before you commit real time to either.
Areas Covered in the Session
- Why "just follow the process" is bad advice roughly half the time
- Three diagnostic questions to run before opening a project plan template
- The real cost of over-processing small work and under-processing large work
- Signals that a "quick task" is actually a project wearing a disguise
- Building a repeatable triage habit instead of a rigid intake rule
- Working through underestimated and overbuilt initiatives as case examples
Who Will Benefit
- Project Managers and Program Managers
- Team Leads managing mixed workloads
- PMO staff standardizing project intake
- Operations Managers fielding ad hoc requests
- Anyone who inherits work without a clear process attached
