At this second in time, now we have over 200 concepts in our backlog throughout our suite of functions. Every of these concepts represents wherever from 3 days to three months of labor for our product and growth groups to totally outline, construct, and launch.
All mentioned and performed, 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 day-after-day. So how can we presumably prioritize this large pile of potentialities?
Right here’s our soiled secret. We don’t.
I do know a few of you’re uncomfortable already, how are you going to presumably handle your groups and your workload for those who don’t have all the pile of labor prioritized? How do you make a shocking 5-year lengthy Gantt Chart roadmap with out having priorities?
Let me clarify.
We used to attempt to handle our whole backlog, utilizing our crystal ball we’d look out at our pile of issues to work on and say that Characteristic X (the one our large buyer requested for and is absolutely enthusiastic about) could be prepared in about 8 months.
Our gross sales group would go let our large buyer know that their characteristic request must be prepared in about 8 months and everybody could be blissful!
