Work, Project, Service, and Product Prioritization

Key Questions for Prioritization

This is what we ask ourselves to decide what gets done and what doesn't.

  • Does this serve our mission? (Important)
    • Do you have a prepared mission statement?
    • NOTE: You should also have defined "core values".
  • Will this help to make us financially sustainable within a year, two years, three years, and beyond? (Important)
  • Can this make us move faster? (Important)
  • Does this increase quality?
  • Does this add technical debt?
  • Is it feasible to build and maintain with our current team and runway? (Important)
  • What insight or research is this project based on?
  • Is this problem already solved elsewhere? (Important)
  • How will we measure our success?
    • Do we have a baseline today that we can compare this against?
  • How well do we understand the complexity of the problem, feature/service/product to be added or company/user needs to be addressed?
  • What is the estimated timeframe for delivering this project/service/product?
