How did you prioritize and select tasks to perform at your previous job?

To determine task priorities, I usually focus on business goals and urgency. I primarily choose tasks that impact key product metrics or have strict deadlines. I also consider complexity and execution time — sometimes it's more beneficial to complete several small tasks to quickly demonstrate results.

I apply methodologies like MoSCoW (Must, Should, Could, Won't) or prioritization using the Eisenhower matrix (urgent/important). I discuss priorities with managers and colleagues within the team to align expectations.

For example: if there's a bug that blocks the release, it gets the highest priority. If a task is related to performance improvement but isn't critical, it can be postponed.
