    I think it’s important that all projects are clearly prioritized and that each team member understands the level of priority each project holds. Being able to prioritize projects well ultimately impacts the success of the project and the response from the team. Project managers need to know how to distinguish urgent vs. important tasks and ensure that the team is on the same page too so that they can adjust their work accordingly. Being able to assess the value of each project is also an important consideration when thinking of which projects should continue and which should be paused/cut completely. Once the list of priorities are made, some of the low priority tasks can be further analyzed to determine whether or not they are worth pursuing based on how much team effort, resources, and time is needed to be completed. If some of the low priority tasks require too much time, money, and work, it may be a good idea to cut off that project completely and focus on more urgent/important projects.
