Pre task planning is a part of the strategic task planning. It is a method of estimating tasks prior to setting basic task characteristics, such as due date, assignment and priority. Pre task planning assumes that a supervisor organizes sessions with project team members to share pre task plan forms and questionnaires. Team members will answer a number of questions to let the supervisor know whether they clearly understand their roles, goals and responsibilities within the project. For example, a sample pre task plan form may include the follow questions:
- Do you feel you have all necessary skills to do your tasks efficiently?
- Do you need additional tools to do your job?
- Do you feel safe when working on your tasks?
The method of pre task planning is critical to efficient project management. By running the method, a project manager can find out whether the team is ready to do project tasks and whether it has all necessary competencies. Pre task planning lets ensure that team members are ready to do their tasks because they feel safe.
