Here's how you can effectively juggle multiple deadlines and projects in Technological Innovation.

It’s so simple. For any innovative /research program one needs to prepare a proper Gantt chart and identify critical path/ activity. Plan the time lines such a way that it should accommodate any delays in achieving milestone deliverables. However, a systematic and technical review of research work being carried out should be assessed continually.

I believe that the first step here is to define the number of stakeholders you need to serve. After that, create a kind of wishlist of all of them, and understand how each request can impact the company's OKR's, those that impact the most, or have more feasibility to be deployed should come first. After that, create agreements between all those involved on the priorities of the items presented. The better your communication here, the easier it is to prioritize.

Difficult one ... magic maybe? I think it is a combination of 1. Tools (To do lists, schedules, time management, ...), 2. priorities of course and 3. Personal skills and experience. For my personal perspective, what I try to do is get to know the project and live in it, dare to say no, and having a good memory helps. ;-)

Identifying the most critical tasks and projects that align with your goals and deadlines. Focus your energy on those first to ensure they're completed on time and to a high standard.

Multiple deadlines, complex projects, and constant change can feel overwhelming. There is no doubt many of us in this field going through with this. So acknowledging the challenge is important. Then yes prioritization is the key. This would mean to say no to some tasks or timely communication around what your focus is going to be.

take some buffer - and understand if additional one should be applied, why ? it really depends on the person that is doing the planning, i met some very optimistic one and very pessimistic ones, this was reflected in their planning. we always hope that some technology will solve our problems but the devil is always in the details. what is the definition of done in your planning ? is it clear ? what happen if the previous step ( for example tech discovery ) is delayed or not successful - build those decision points in your plan

Me, who work in the IT area, believe that the JIRA tool helps a lot here, I strongly recommend you study how to use it. After you learn, creating gantt charts will be super easy! The way your stakeholders want to view deliveries may vary. Presenting these gantt charts can be a good way to visualize, but do not forget to validate your deliveries with the team before showing them to stakeholders.

Recognize when you need support and don't hesitate to delegate tasks to capable team members or colleagues. Effective delegation can lighten your workload and ensure tasks are completed efficiently.

Delegation is treaky! You, as the manager carry yhe responsibility to meet the goals of the project. This might push you towards centralized management style, but this is rarely the best approach in the long term. You should trust your team members, empower them, give them guidance and hope for the best. In my exerience, you will not be dissapointed, and your team will grow stronger!

try to stream line your work with existing tools that will help you. keep in mind that new tools req. some adoption time so it is not a great idea to plan a dramatic implementation of something in a very stretchy time lines. you need to plan time to be more efficient and if it will require a full day to day routine it might take time and mind bandwidth to make it effective. read comments on forums and try to learn from others experience - it might save you a lot of time.

Yes, technology can help. There are many tools out there for scheduling, collaboration, automation of various tasks out there. But the key is identifying what is your goal and then how to use these tools for your goals.

Leverage technology tools and platforms to streamline processes, manage tasks, and collaborate with team members effectively. Project management software, communication tools, and automation can all enhance productivity in technological innovation projects.

Don't be afraid to leverage your team's strengths. Delegate tasks, ask for help, and brainstorm solutions together. Keep your manager and colleagues informed about your progress and any roadblocks you encounter. This allows them to adjust schedules and expectations if needed. Be honest with yourself and others about what you can realistically achieve within defined timelines.

Create a comprehensive to-do list that outlines all your tasks and deadlines. Use a project management tool or a simple list app to keep everything organized and accessible.
