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?
