Any project, the products of which is intellectual development, and not a specific material product, is always difficult because of the tasks that are conditionally unlimited in time. It is difficult to cut the best solution by deadlines, but if you know which processes are uselessly taking up time for the project, you can save that time by organizing the work correctly.
One of the key processes is the task exchange process. And it includes all the participants in the design at once. Therefore, it is important that the manager, together with the Chief Engineer, General Manager, Chief Designer, should work in this segment in the most efficient way. Determine a clear sequence of work, while taking into account the peculiarities of obtaining information by each specialist. Already at the stage of exchange of tasks, all key design solutions must be worked out by each direction, and it does not matter who and when the more intensive process of developing design documentation begins.
Create a Gantt chart in which participants can visually feel the importance of their work and influence other professionals. The graph is exactly the tool that allows you to visualize the process with the combination of tasks into one logical chain to achieve the set goal, which was previously stored “in the head” of each specialist, but, unfortunately, was not in any way consolidated with the heads of other design participants.
In addition to high-quality planning, which is the key to optimal work performance, the manager must carefully monitor the implementation of the task exchange block during the project implementation and provide all the necessary information to meet the deadlines.
