GUT Chart is a German^{[citation needed]} table that defines guidelines on how to prioritize tasks in order to achieve higher productivity. The chart provides simple 5 categories under which each task is assigned a value (multiple assignments are allowed) and at the end the task with the highest score gets performed.

Value	(G)ravity	(U)rgency	(T)endency
5	Severe gravity	Immediate action is needed	If nothing is done the situation will get worse
4	Very serious	Some urgency	Will worsen a bit in a while
3	Serious	The earliest possible	Will worsen in the small run
2	Slightly serious	It can wait a while	Will worsen in the long run
1	Not serious	There is no hurry	Will not worsen, it could even improve
