What is Monkey Management (Oncken's Monkey)? PM in Under 5

Monkey management, a concept by William Oncon Junior, uses the metaphor of a monkey to represent tasks. When someone takes on another's task, it's like a monkey jumping from one shoulder to another. Oncon provides four rules for managing these 'monkeys': describe the task, assign an owner, manage risk, and check progress. Effective management prevents being overwhelmed by others' tasks and ensures clarity in task assignment.
