This week I’m working with teams to define and align 2021 priorities and estimate development efforts. For some, they are cautious about the expectation (how to estimate TBD?); for others, they’re eager (& perhaps inpatient) to see the projection. It’s also time to request and determine next year’s budget and resource allocation. It’s no surprise of the tension and uncertainty.
I met Ops/ community management leaders to understand the business needs and seek commitments (e.g. process/ people to change along). Meanwhile, I coordinated with product/ tech teams to define the specifics and explore options, including collaboration with other system team. Heat and bumps along the way yet in the end (by the target date), we presented a proposal that would address business interests and enable teams to do the works…“spicy” win before Thanksgiving 🙂 thanks, team!
