"You don't have a prioritization problem, you have a strategy one" The first question you should be asking yourself when it comes to prioritization is: Does this align to our strategy? Without a strategy, prioritization becomes very hard. Because ideas are cheap. You can just about rationalize any idea as something we _should_ do. Without a strategy you end up with a very long list of ideas and no nothing to prioritize them against. When places view this as a prioritisation problem this is when they resort to prioritisation by spreadsheets with complex formulas. So get your strategy first before you start to prioritize. 📺 I did a live talk on this, you can watch the recording here 👉 https://lnkd.in/g9W-VNyH

Thanks Ant Murphy for put this so simple and direct. I couldn't agree more with you, in fact this is one of my very first question when the teams, that I've worked with, ask me: where do we start? when they have a tons of backlog items waiting to be developed and delivered to their customers. #productmanagement #agileproductmanagement #productowner #agileleadership

Ever feel like your projects or systems are a whirlwind of moving parts, leaving you wondering where to start? I’ve learned that the key to simplifying chaos lies in three straightforward principles: 1️⃣ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞:   Zoom out and identify the core goals of the project. Understanding the “why” helps prioritize the “how.” 2️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐤 𝐈𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧:: Break complex projects into smaller, manageable tasks. Think of it like a puzzle—one piece at a time gets you closer to the full picture. 3️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟑𝐃 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞—𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞, 𝐃𝐨: - Delegate tasks that don’t need your direct attention. - Digitize processes to save time and reduce manual work. - Do the tasks that only you can handle with full focus. Remember, chaos isn’t the enemy—it’s the starting point for creativity and solutions. The right systems can transform it into seamless efficiency.
