Prioritization Notes

The best ideas on how to make a decision on what to do next

Preparation

Learn how to prioritize correctly from the very beginning and save yourself a few common mistakes. Build a robust system, so you don't fail on misunderstandings or irregularity.

Accelerate prioritization with a well-established process.

Principles:
  1. Proper task description—state problem/result/comments.
  2. Clear criteria—customize framework criteria to be unequivocal to the team.
  3. Automation—use spreadsheets/tools to reduce manual work.
  4. Collaboration—involve the whole team in the evaluation to collect diverse opinions.
  5. Regularity—evaluate weekly, re-evaluate monthly.
