"Using the Eisenhower Decision Principle, tasks are evaluated using the criteria important / unimportant and urgent/not urgent, and then placed in according quadrants in an Eisenhower Matrix (also known as an "Eisenhower Box" or "Eisenhower Decision Matrix"). Tasks are then handled as follows:
Tasks in
1. Important / Urgent quadrant are done immediately and personally e.g. crises, deadlines, problems.
2. Important / Not Urgent quadrant get an end date and are done personally e.g. relationships, planning, recreation.
3. Unimportant / Urgent quadrant are delegated e.g. interruptions, meetings, activities.
4. Unimportant / Not Urgent quadrant are dropped e.g. time wasters, pleasant activities, trivia." [The Eisenhower Method. Time management. Wikipedia]
The matrix diagram sample "Eisenhower box" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO software extended with the Scrum solution from the Project Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
