Word Order.
I'm never sure when I construct sentences such as these:
1) We want to manage things the best way possible.
Or
2) We want to manage things the best possible way.
3) I was able to finish the task in the shortest time imaginable.
Or
4) I was able to finish th task in the shortest imaginable time.
Don't forget to check for grammatical/spelling errors. Thank you!

I think all of these sentences are acceptable, but here are some thoughts I have on them:
1) We want to manage things the best way possible. (This sounds good to me.)
2) We want to manage things [in] the best possible way. (I think "in" makes it sound better, but people would understand even without "in.")
3) I was able to finish the task in the shortest time imaginable. (I think this sounds more natural, but #4 is OK too.)
4) I was able to finish the task in the shortest imaginable time.

En las dos frases, la segunda es la correcta. "Possible" e "imaginable" son adjectivos, deben estar antes del substantivo.
