I’ve been pondering to do lists lately, and one of the shortcomings i’ve experienced with to do lists is that, when working in teams, my to dos are sometimes partially or entirely contingent upon someone else in the team completing something on their to do list.
in the end, when someone at the beginning of the chain (myself included) falls behind on one of their to dos, it makes it appear on the surface as though people on the end of the chain went over their budgeted time, when in fact they may have actually completed their task faster than originally budgeted but finished later than planned because of the prior setbacks of others on the team.
i wonder if there is a more robust to do list tool than the ones i am using to link up lists in this way and to visualize the time spent more effectively.
