Roadmap

You'll find below guidelines for prioritizing features and projects as well as a template for new projects.

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?
