To manage project overload effectively, I prioritize tasks by assessing deadlines and project impact, ensuring critical work is addressed first. I delegate responsibilities based on team members' strengths, allowing for greater efficiency and ownership. Regular check-ins are essential; they keep everyone aligned and help identify roadblocks early. Additionally, I advocate for using project management tools to enhance visibility and track progress. Lastly, fostering open communication encourages team members to voice concerns or ask for help, creating a supportive environment that helps everyone stay afloat during busy periods.

The problem typically arises from three main factors: the team’s capacity (an internal factor), low motivation, or an overwhelming number of projects (external factors). The manager needs to identify and understand these root causes to implement effective solutions. If team capacity is the issue, increasing the number of team members or providing additional support can help. When there is a sudden influx of projects, it's essential to set priorities and focus on the most critical ones. To boost team morale, keep members informed about solutions and reassure them that the situation will improve soon. Organizing team-building activities, such as dinners, can also help increase motivation.

Projects should be divided into small tasks, each engineer should be assigned a task with a specific time frame, and the speed of review and correction of errors should be assigned, and the task of collecting the outputs should be assigned to leaders.

Prioritizing the priorities is key . Good communication both internal and external will ensure that the expected deliverables are provided within a reasonable time frame
