How to set priorities by making an activity network diagram?

Open the A3 prioritization matrix in PPT or print it on (A3) paper.
Organize a brainstorm session, each person involved will put all projects/tasks on a separate post-it note. Max 10 persons is recommended.
Fill in each column, each step is agreed upon;
Go for a quick consensus to limit debate;
Mention all activities and dependencies;
Count the duration of each activity separately, and together;
The best outcome is to have items distributed across the matrix so that only a very small number appear in the top-right
Shortlist to a manageable number of items by drawing a suitably scaled sector in the top right of the Matrix
Discuss the actions to take with the team, and define action owners.
