1. Divide and Conquer - Break large projects down into small pieces to delegate and share. PlanDone has three hierarchical levels - Project, Task, Action Step. The devil is in the details, and the real, detailed work gets done at the step level as opposed to the high project level. PlanDone will help staff know exactly what is next to do by assigning them action steps and giving them the ability to share it with co-workers if they get overwhelmed.

2. Communicate Vision - Great ideas happen all of the time, but too often the method of capturing those ideas is not relevant to the task at hand. A post it note, a scratchpad or back of an envelope. PlanDone captures Instant Message chats and saves them directly into the related pages of projects and tasks so that ideas are not lost. Threaded comments are also saved and used by teams to build on each other's thoughts to make an informed decision with everyone's input.

3. Put out Fires - It happens. Unforeseen issues will arise with little warning, but responding quickly and planning for them requires an open, centralized environment like PlanDone to quickly communicate alternatives or make small course corrections now as opposed to large, risky ones later that could flare up into big problems.

4. Decide Now - People like to procrastinate. They always think they have enough time later to cram. Given the choice of what to work on, people will naturally tend to work on easier tasks that are more fun. PlanDone's priority ranking system takes the guesswork out of the equation and will strongly suggest which tasks should be done first in order to have the best chance to finish every task on time.

5. Hit your Mark - Most deadlines are missed because of a variety of factors that involve poor choices and poor planning. PlanDone has many ways to remind staff of their upcoming deadline. One way is via email reminders, and another is on the MyTasks and MyTop10 dashboards which have color-coded deadline analysis to ensure that the end date is coming.
