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 make us financially sustainable within a year?

  • Is it feasible to build and maintain with our team and runway?

  • Can this make us move faster?

  • Does this increase quality and not technical debt?

  • Will this bring us more Collective and financial contributors?

  • Is this already solved elsewhere or is it our unique contribution?

  • Can we measure the success of this?

Template for new projects

  • Github issue

    • explain the feature.

    • Link to other opened issues or data.

    • Include details below.

  • Kickoff

    • Organize a special meeting or on a scheduled one.

  • Project owner.

    • Role: Facilitator, decision-maker, producer.

    • It's ultimately responsible for (needs to do or organize who does)

      • Delivery
