5. Break down large projects into manageable tasks
If you are banking on that large project or order to give your business a much needed boost, it can seem like a daunting task, with absolutely no room for delays or errors. Instead of looking at it as a large and overwhelming project, break it down into smaller, manageable tasks.
This is at the heart of the Agile philosophy in project management, which emphasises flexibility, collaboration, and iterative progress. It encourages breaking down large, complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks or iterations, often referred to as "sprints." By dividing the work in this way, SMB owners can adapt to changing circumstances and customer feedback more effectively.
When tasks are divided into smaller increments, it becomes easier to track progress and identify roadblocks. Tools like Basecamp and Trello are designed to facilitate Agile project management and ease the burden on you as an SMB owner.
