| SUMMARY: | Developed a model of Agenda Management, which includes management not only of tasks,
but goals, functions, actor assignments, and resource allocations as well. Performed an IDEF0 analysis model |
SIGNIFICANT CONCEPTS/EXCERPTS:

task prioritization: assess relative task priority in terms of overall mission and safety importance, urgency, and momentum or continuity.
From IDEF0 analysis:
A1113 prioritize goals -- Rank the goals based on the importance and urgency of each goal. A goal has high importance if its achievement is a necessary condition for achieving the mission goal. It has high urgency if it must be achieved soon. "What is most important? What is most urgent? What is most worthy of our attention now?"
A1123 prioritize functions -- For each function, determine its priority, based on its goal's priority, it status, and its momentum (i.e., functions nearly completed have a greater momentum than do functions just begun). "What should we be doing right now?"
