How to Manage Ad-Hoc Projects and Ad-Hoc Requests
Summary
Ad-hoc projects also focus on one goal (or group of people) and tend to use fewer resources, including team members. Finally, you need a tool that generates reports, both to manage the project and keep stakeholders updated on its progress. While you can’t have a plan for something you don’t know will happen, you can set up enough of a cushion in your day to let you respond to ad-hoc requests without negatively impacting your schedule. Automated notifications by email and in the tool standardize the ad-hoc request process and then teams can be assigned and collaborate in real time with the transparency managers and stakeholders required to track their effort. In order to know who on the team has the capacity to take on the ad-hoc request, ProjectManager has real-time resource management features, such as a workload chart.
