when asked do you give estimates? how many people can ask you to move something up/down? is your list public to others? does it happen that the #1 thing is blo

  Yes I give estimates when asked. I use the priority list to negotiate the number of deliverables agreed to. The list makes it easy for biz people to balance time vs. deliverables. Yes if #1 is blocked then I work on #2 until #1 is unblocked. And if #2 is blocked then I work on #3 etc. I use a single prioritised list to manage teams. The list is public to the team and I rearrange it as needed when new discoveries/obstacles warrant it. I also let team member choose which tasks they want to work on. As long as it is one of the high priority tasks. I don’t know if individual team members have their own list. I don’t care how they do their work as long as it gets done at high quality. I also publicly list tasks completed and the people who completed them. It makes it very obvious to everybody who the most productive people are. It’s a great motivator for the team because everybody wants to be #1.
