At this second in time, we’ve got over 200 concepts in our backlog throughout our suite of functions. Every of these concepts represents anyplace from 3 days to three months of labor for our product and improvement groups to completely outline, construct, and launch.
All mentioned and finished, we may hold our groups busy for 5 years with solely the issues we already find out about and there are extra concepts coming in every single day. So how will we probably prioritize this big pile of potentialities?
Right here’s our soiled secret. We don’t.
I do know a few of you might be uncomfortable already, how will you probably handle your groups and your workload in case you don’t have the complete pile of labor prioritized? How do you make a surprising 5-year lengthy Gantt Chart roadmap with out having priorities?
Let me clarify.
We used to attempt to handle our complete backlog, utilizing our crystal ball we’d look out at our pile of issues to work on and say that Function X (the one our massive buyer requested for and is basically enthusiastic about) can be prepared in about 8 months.
Our gross sales workforce would go let our massive buyer know that their characteristic request needs to be prepared in about 8 months and everybody can be glad!
