Step 5: Planning IT-company tasks

By dates

The most important resource of task planning is Time. Time scopes of the most of IT-company tasks and projects should be distinctly defined, because clients require knowing how long the implementation of IT-solution in their offices can last or to know exactly the day and time when specialist will visit them and install software necessary for their business.

Work delays or inability to meet commitments will harm business reputation of IT-company, so to avoid this all tasks and projects should be clearly planned. VIP Task Manager is team task planning and tracking software that allows users to plan tasks by time properties - by Start and End dates, by due dates, by estimated durations, to set task recurrence and pop-up/e-mail reminders.

By priority

Usually some tasks within IT-company are more important than others. For example team of developers has elaborated software product that will support client's business activity, but during the test some program vulnerability was detected and programmers should make recast of the program code.

The due date of the project is close and all efforts of development department should be directed on successful completion of this work. All tasks related with eliminating of these issues should be prioritized as Urgent. VIP Task Manager allows planning tasks by priorities (6 levels, from lowest to urgent). This helps employees to group and sort tasks by priorities to be aware what tasks are really important at the moment.

By order

Often tasks and task groups should be set in a certain order. This is necessary when users need to plan some processes where tasks should follow one-by-one, as steps. This is very useful for projects when one task can be executed only when previous is completed. VIP Task Manager allows presetting tasks and task groups order and changing it manually during project performance if required.

For example system administrator can begin to link up computers to LAN, set up internet connections and data-sharing between computers only when actually the LAN is mounted within the office, only when system administrator will finish getting LAN into working trim the single-purpose software specialists can begin their part and so on.
