1. Establish time management principles
(1) We need to record and analyze the time through the time log, and prioritize the daily transactions to be dealt with, and give priority to the most important things;
(2) Determine the opportunity cost of the things to be processed and improve the cost performance of time use. Focus on the opportunity without overly anxious about the problem itself.
(3) Give full play to the management function and delegate the intention to handle affairs. Special affairs, special affairs.

2. Reasonable authorization
The project manager is short on time, cannot pursue personal heroism, and needs to have a sense of teamwork to achieve the effect of 1+1>2. The need to objectively assess specific work items and delegate them appropriately is an important skill in time management.
3. Focus on valuable work
The value of time management is not how much the task is completed and whether all of it is completed, but whether the things done are consistent with the project goals and whether valuable work is done.
For time management, quality is valued above quantity, and we don't need to fool ourselves into keeping ourselves busy, but should pay more attention to whether we have done valuable work.

4. Respect the objective laws of time
Project management involves complex and varied issues that cannot be accomplished overnight. Therefore, we need to objectively analyze and evaluate the rationality of affairs and respect the objective laws of time. We cannot blindly believe that things are man-made, invest a lot of time, and cause unnecessary consumption.

5. Say no to unreliable matters
Normal project transactions are plan-based and can be completed gradually. But unforeseen risks can also interfere with the project manager's time management. For example, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia in recent years, many projects have been delayed or even cancelled. Without the courage to say no, you can't really take responsibility for project management. If you are right, please stick to it by reasonable means and do not compromise easily, otherwise the project will go in a worse direction.

6. Make full use of project management tools to improve efficiency
Effective time management requires improving the cost performance of time use, so make full use of project management tools to improve transaction processing efficiency and save development time. For example, the AI intelligent tools of CoCode Development Cloud assist the R&D management system to instantly improve work efficiency. Specific functions such as the platform can automatically lock in demand defects, automatically estimate project size and product quotation, automatic task planning, automatic progress warning, automatic generation of test cases and test reports, automatic warning of high risks, automatic analysis and review of defects, etc., to help us save time and improve development efficiency.
