Key Frameworks

1. 5-Step Project Framework

   • Stages: Define → Plan → Execute → Monitor → Close

   • Best for: Structured projects needing clear phases without heavy overhead

   • Basic 3-step framework (small projects): Plan → Execute → Review 

2. Prioritization Frameworks

   • MoSCoW Categorize: Must Have (Critical features), Should Have (Important but not critical), Could Have (Nice to have), Won’t Have (Not now)

     • Scope control in development, marketing, product work

     • Agree on priorities early with stakeholders

   • Others: 

     • RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort), RICE score = (R*I*C)/E

     • Value (Impact) vs Effort, score = I/E

     • Kano model (features): Must, Performance, Delighters

3. Decision Frameworks

   • Eisenhower Matrix: Urgency vs. Importance (2x2 grid)

     • Urgent & Important: Do

     • Urgent & Not Important: Delegate

     • Not Urgent & Important: Plan/Schedule

     • Not Urgent & Not Important: Delete/Eliminate

4. Development/Agile Methodologies/Frameworks

   • Lean: Focus is to Eliminate waste, maximize customer value. Good for Startups, efficiency-driven environments

   • Scrum: Work in sprints (1–4 weeks), daily check-ins. Deliver tangible outputs each sprint. Good for Self-managing, Fast-paced, flexible product development

   • Kanban: Visual board limiting work in progress (WIP). To Do → In Progress → Done. Good for Small, Ongoing, multitasking environments

   • Waterfall: Sequential stages Requirements → Design → Build → Test → Maintain. Good for Large Projects with fixed requirements (e.g., construction). Less flexible

5. Roles & Responsibilities Frameworks: 

   • RACI Matrix (Roles): Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed. Good for Cross-functional teams, unclear roles. Each task to have SPOC for accountable.

6. Measuring Frameworks:

   • OKRs (Objectives & Key Results): Set clear goals and track with measurable results

   • SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound

   • V2MOM: Vision, Values, Methods, Obstacles, Measures

   • OP: Operational Planning
