Product managers: Engage me on this one for a quick minute!
How do you prioritize work for your team?
Specifically, how do you get to decide what the team focuses on during a sprint?
Do you follow any of these methods?
- First In, First Out
- High Impact, Low Effort
- Expedited Work First, Prioritized Work After
- Team Velocity, Pre-set Timeline
Each of these methods give different results
So, it’s important to understand how each one impacts your outcomes and the
Teams rely on the product manager to outline their priorities
And align them to what’s critical from the point of view of customers and the organization
But this is easier said than done
