End Squeaky Wheel Syndrome by Prioritizing
Many people decide what to build next using the "squeaky wheel" prioritization method, where the person screaming the loudest gets their way.
This session of Designers + Geeks will not tell you the one true way to prioritize what you do next. Instead, we will focus on the basic principles of prioritization: customer needs, business outcomes, and available resources. We'll look at a few of the most popular prioritization frameworks and examples of how they're used in companies around the globe. Combine your favorite elements from each of them to create a model that works for your team. Learn how to calm down the prioritization chaos and move to a repeatable, agile process for deciding what to build next.
