Just a quick outline, but this is what I do:

  1. For each project you have responsibilities for, create a project plan to lay out the project timing line and tasks. This can be a subset of the larger project plan focusing on your areas of responsibility. I use a simple spreadsheet for this.

  2. Prioritize the projects and the tasks. Discuss with your boss if there are conflicts or the priorities aren’t clear.

  3. Create an overall execution tracker with the tasks prioritized and the expected completion date. Keep it focused on daily/weekly execution, but also keep in mind the overall schedule and project commitments.

  4. Set up weekly meetings with the team lead, your team, and key stakeholders to review progress, help needed, and commitments. The teams may already have regular meetings set up, but if they don’t, you’ll have to do it.

  5. Set up regular meetings with your boss to review progress and make sure your priorities align with the business priorities. This should be a formal 1:1 to make sure progress and priorities are fully discussed.

  6. Provide a weekly written summary of your progress to the team leads, your boss, and any key stakeholders.
