Making a list of tasks should occur first in the organizing process as it provides an overview of all the work that needs to be done and serves as a basis for developing job descriptions and organizing work into departments. The other steps (dividing tasks into groups of activities, grouping jobs together to create departments, and establishing relationships between jobs to define responsibilities) can only be effectively accomplished once the tasks have been identified and listed.
