How can the MECE Principle be used in project management?

The MECE Principle, which stands for Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive, can be used in project management to ensure that all aspects of a project are covered without any overlaps. This principle can be applied in various stages of project management, such as in the planning phase where tasks are divided among team members, or in the analysis phase where different aspects of the project are being evaluated. By applying the MECE Principle, project managers can ensure that their projects are well-organized and efficient.
