Q2) Explain the importance of using task lists.
Answer: Managing with a task list is critical for making progress. Task descriptions need to be specific and worded so that it is possible to decide whether or not the task was accomplished. In general, one person should be made responsible for accomplishing a task. That does not mean that the assigned person does the task; it means that they are responsible for ensuring that it gets done. No benefit will come from this list unless every task has a date by which it is to be completed. For team members to utilize the task list effectively, they need to share it.
