Planning Software
As an alternative to the "Urgent and Important Matrix" you may find that Microsoft Project is a useful planning mechanism to use. This system will allow you to record your tasks electronically rather than having to rely on a paper system. The tasks for all team members can be added to the plan and printed off when required. The advantages of this type of system are that the details can be amended easily and, provided the software is installed and a shared facility is in place, it can be accessed by all members of the team. It is important to consider appointing an individual to the role of updating the plan as it could become confusing if all members of the team make independent additions/changes to the plan.
