What do you think of such a project management system?

Question

Project management

Hello. I recently started leading a small development team and started thinking about different types of project management. Thought something like this:
There are some tasks to be completed. We divide them into groups like: "HTML, CSS", "UX Design", etc. Members of my team go to the site and if they are engaged in web development, they receive tasks like HTML, CSS in the form of a large sheet. For each task there is a level of difficulty, a description, a reward (whether it be money or some kind of internal currency, I think this will add a competitive moment). A person chooses the task that he likes more, it is removed from the general list and he calmly performs it. Tobish is a task manager for a certain group of people who work in the same direction. The sheet with tasks, of course, is displayed according to the priority of execution and is limited by deadlines.
It would work great for my team. But this is exclusively for my task. Do you think such a system will work in large teams in different areas of IT? I hope I was able to describe my idea.

Answer 1

So so idea.
How many of your assignments can be completed autonomously, without coordinating the details with another project team? It usually tends to zero.

Answer 2

Yes. Will work 100%.
There was only one question left: how effective?
What you describe can be called a "task distribution pool" (or "project dependent task parsing stack").
That is, this is a situation where: there is a tree, there are dependencies and there are areas of work.
Pull out at this stage (take the task to work) - you can only the one that you can!
That is, a kind of analogue of the rules of the game of mahjong.
But here you need to think deeper:
1. What will happen if there remains a task that no one wants to take on?!
2. What will happen if a person could not cope with his task, he stopped the whole project? (for example, this is the development of an internal API information bus that has a cloud of dependencies)
, etc.

In my opinion, the best project management system is when a manager is looking for a contractor for a job and they agree on how much it will cost. What's under the hood is irrelevant. Fundamentally, this rule must be observed. I have a job and money, you have the skills to do this job. If this rule is observed well and there is no disharmony in the team and resources, then you can start thinking about some methodologies and practices. But as practice shows, the vast majority of IT companies do not have a well-developed backbone in this basic rule. At the same time, they may have many expensive employees and tools, but everything is in great disharmony and does not work as we would like.
I would recommend learning how to do Reflection in order to competently understand your desires and the desires of the team and find solutions on how to achieve everything. And don't forget about strategic planning, try using the Business Model Canvas and look at your strategy.
Start with the foundation, judging by the question, you have not built it.
