🧠 Practice Only – Not for Submission

💬 AI Feedback Required

🎯 What You’ll Do

You’re facing too much work and not enough time, just like real XPs do every day.

In this task, you’ll triage a long list down to the 3 most urgent, impactful, or dependent tasks. This is about defending your decisions using triage logic.

Core Triage Lenses:

• Urgency — What’s time-sensitive?
• Impact — What moves the needle?
• Dependency — Who’s waiting on you?

📘 Instructions

Complete this activity in a Google Doc. This is a practice task, so you do not need to focus on formatting. Concentrate on making your thinking clear.

1. Review the task list

   You only have 4 hours of focus time today. Everything else is locked in meetings or routines.

   Here’s what’s on your plate:

   • Submit a weekly summary for a cross-functional project
   • Respond to a request for edits on a shared presentation deck
   • Review a document for accuracy before it’s sent to an external partner
   • Finalize a one-pager for a team update meeting tomorrow
   • Follow up on flagged emails from the last two days
   • Schedule and confirm a meeting with two departments for later this week
   • Prep agenda notes for a leadership check-in next week
   • Approve a time-sensitive request from a colleague who needs your input

2. Triage and explain

   Choose your top 3 tasks. Copy the table below and explain why you chose each.

   Task	Why It Comes First	Triage Lens
   Example:
   Review a document for accuracy before it’s sent to an external partner	This document is going to a client today, and I’m the final check before it goes out. If I delay, it risks errors being sent externally or causes a delay for the partner team.
   Dependency
   [Task 1]	[Explain in 2–3 sentences]	[Choose Urgency / Impact / Dependency]

3. Reflect on your trade-offs

   After triaging, answer these in bullet points below your table:

   • What did you delay—and why?
   • What trade-offs were hard to make?
   • What was unclear or messy?
   • How would you explain this plan to your manager?

4. Summarize what you learned

   Write one sentence on what you’ll do differently next time you triage under pressure.
