Essentially every staff officer is a project manager. But how many leaders on staff use a defined process to visualize their priorities, current work items, and their status? Please share how you and your team manage your projects/work.

Even NCOs use a decision making process. Personally I like MDMP

Are you able to use MDMP to manage your day to day work? Surely you don’t do mission analysis for every task you receive! How do you manage your day to day work in a way that allows for continuous improvement?

I do this every day at work. I work in the software field where this is common.

Yeah I’m a BA / Scrum Master and I just couldn’t help but think about how helpful the scrum and kanban processes would have been while I was still active duty

SFC David Reid, M.S, PHR, SHRM-CP, DTM - Don't think many. I liked it because I'd make my first draft and reduce it to a chart, then bring all my "experts" in to pick it to pieces and ensure best guess accuracy. Since they all had a hand in making estimates of time, I could ask them what went wrong if they didn't hit the marks. My bosses thought I was brilliant, but I was really using my peoples brains.
