At this second in time, we’ve got over 200 concepts in our backlog throughout our suite of functions. Every of these concepts represents anyplace from 3 days to three months of labor for our product and improvement groups to totally outline, construct, and launch.
All stated and executed, we may hold our groups busy for 5 years with solely the issues we already learn about and there are extra concepts coming in day by day. So how can we probably prioritize this large pile of prospects?
Right here’s our soiled secret. We don’t.
I do know a few of you might be uncomfortable already, how will you probably handle your groups and your workload for those who don’t have your complete pile of labor prioritized? How do you make a shocking 5-year lengthy Gantt Chart roadmap with out having priorities?
Let me clarify.
We used to attempt to handle our total backlog, utilizing our crystal ball we’d look out at our pile of issues to work on and say that Function X (the one our large buyer requested for and is basically enthusiastic about) could be prepared in about 8 months.
Our gross sales group would go let our large buyer know that their function request needs to be prepared in about 8 months and everybody could be completely satisfied!
