    Thanks Alvin- my question is how do you manage action items without micromanaging - what's your suggested approach? And what's the best tool for managing action items /Raid log items, thanks in advance Alvin!!

    • @alvinthepmofficial
      @alvinthepmofficial  2 дні тому +1

      Great topic, I'll add to my list of future video ideas to create! For managing action items and RAID Log, it'll depend on what your organization uses. For ease of use, I'd recommend Confluence, since it's extremely easy to keep track and update within your Team's Space. If not Confluence, then I'd recommend Excel, since almost every company uses it. Feel free to check out my previous video here where I go through the detail of the RAID Log: ua-cam.com/video/1i_pYJXs-H0/v-deo.htmlsi=Km8WoZkOFrTtx2S6
