Quick answer
Set priority according to business impact and urgency, then compare it with due dates instead of using priority as the only signal.
Before you start
- Agree on what the available priority levels mean for your team.
Do this in Nyttio
- 1
Assess impact and urgency
Separate important work from work that is merely close to its due date.
- 2
Set the task priority
Edit the task and choose the level that reflects the agreed assessment.
- 3
Review the weekly order
Check that dates and ownership still support the intended priority.
Important to remember
- If everything is high priority, the label stops helping.
- Priority does not replace a due date or clear owner.
Common mistakes
- Using high priority for visibility rather than importance.
- Ignoring a dependency that prevents the top task from starting.
