Objective 🎯
Taking control of what we focus on, how we deliver, and bringing overall transparency to the organization
What needs to be done❓
(1) Defining “what” we want/should be working on? 🧱
We’re looking at 2 broad categories of items
Core - This includes common items on the platform, design, implementation, and process level
Product Specific
In this step, we focus on identifying, refining, aligning each other on the specifics. Ideally, all these items would map to our Mission OKRs.

Please find the OKRs here for reference. Urban Mission Public Finance Management Mission? |
...
Note: We will also look at streamlining Engineering <> Product <> Implementation/Partnership so that we can keep the firebox items in check (items coming up all of a sudden because of a critical issue in a particular account) and we can ensure what we’re building is going to be used #Adoption
(2) How do we prioritize to cut down and focus on the most important “whats”? 🔪

Jojo Mehra will share more details on this |
(3) How much can we work on? 👨💻👩💻
Estimating Efforts Required

Estimating Bandwidth
How much can we individually take per month?
This will require us to have a rough idea about where our time is consumed on a regular basis.
(4) How can we share our focus and progress with others? 📊
Once we have alignment on what we will be working on, we will start tracking it on JIRA.
All the reporting will happen through Jira dashboards. This is going to be a tough road, but we need this for ourselves more than anyone else! #JIRATheHellOut 😈
