When to use it

Use Prioritisation to help people focus their best attention on what matters. Discussing ways to identify and schedule top-priority tasks ensures the most important work gets the focus and care it deserves.

Use it when

  • People struggle to tell the urgent from the important.
  • A team wants shared ways to decide what comes first.
  • Best energy is going to low-value tasks.

Not the right tool when

  • The focus is managing tasks and to-do lists. Use Task Management.
  • You want to plan around energy levels. Use Energy Management.
Use it with your team

This tool works best in a well-facilitated room.

Using this tool with a skilled facilitator means that discussions are focused, time is used efficiently, and the group moves toward consensus, making the session productive and impactful.
