To align your team on task prioritisation based on project impact, first define the project's broad goals and how each activity contributes to them. Implement a clear rating system for evaluating activities based on their significance and urgency, and involve the team in the process to encourage ownership. Use facts and clear criteria to drive choices, and schedule regular check-ins to resolve issues and reset priorities. Encourage a collaborative approach, with an emphasis on group achievement.

Establishing clear project goals is essential. Ensure that each task is directly linked to a desired outcome, aligning with the overall objectives of the project. This clarity helps keep the project focused and ensures that every effort contributes meaningfully to the project’s success. Clear goals also provide a roadmap for decision-making and prioritization throughout the project lifecycle.

The first to gaining team alignment is to understand the business goal that needs to be achieved at hand.
- Based on the business goal, what direct activities are necessary to drive success? Itemizing that helps to provide clarity on what’s important.
- Based on the tasks identified, which task has all the resources available to get done?
- From the tasks with resources available, which of the tasks has the highest rewards in place.
- From the beneficial tasks, which of them cannot he delegated or delayed? Now, that is the most important activity to prioritize.
It is important to get the whole team involved in this creative process to birth inclusivity.

If you have a team struggling with task prioritization, anchoring the project's vision will help them focus. Aside from establishing project goals, using a prioritization matrix, and reviewing priorities regularly, what takes a project to the next level is understanding the project's vision and objectives and what is perceived as valuable to your stakeholders. Are you running through the tasks blindly just to check off a list or are you truly building something valuable? By regularly communicating and understanding the vision of the project, the team will be able to prioritize tasks that move it closer to that vision.
