Getting Things Done

A new approach for getting teams to be more productive and finishing projects on time and on budget promoted by David Allen is called Getting Things Done or GTD for short. Binfire’s flexible task management system supports GTD and in fact we use GTD in our own development department inside Binfire. The idea behind Get Things Done is very simple but powerful. It requires the following actions by you:

• Document everything you need to do in a list.
• Order the list based on your priorities and do it often
• Drop tasks which never come up to the top of the list
• Keep the list short

This approach helps teams to focus on important tasks at hand and only work on things that really count.
