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?
