In lieu of a consistent method to evaluate and score inbound requests, individuals, team leads, or managers are left to assess priority based on their own perspectives. As expected, different conclusions almost always result which hampers teamwork.

When managers are armed with a uniform understanding of how pending work stacks up in terms of priority, they are able to collaborate more effectively to meet common objectives.
