For some, adding additional actions for the same project causes overload - there are enough with just *one* per project! This is one of my problems with the concept of the weekly review. I can't see how having one NA per project and reviewing weekly can get anything done at all. Depending on how granular a NA is for a project and how many steps a project is, it could take months to get a project done at this rate. Quote: If you do have multiple actions active from the same project, they should be independent (i.e., you have everything you need to do any of them). I think this is one of the most important things I have heard about NA's. No sense putting a phone call on your list for which you would have to look up the number first. Maybe the definition of a NA should be adjusted to be, "Any physical action that you can take to move the project forward" rather than "The very next physical action..." so that the definition leaves some lattitude for operation. » POSTED IN:
