Key questions for prioritization
This is what we ask ourselves to decide what gets done and what doesn't.
Does this serve our mission?
Will this help to make us financially sustainable within a year?
Can this make us move faster?
Does this increase quality?
Does this add technical debt?
Is it feasible to build and maintain with our current team and runway?
What insight or research is this project based on?
Is this problem already solved elsewhere?
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 to be added or user needs to be addressed?
What is the estimated timeframe for delivering this project?
