サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Prioritization is one of the cornerstone activities that we all do as product people. Some are done mindfully, with a process in place, and some are done on an on-going basis, without even thinking of it. In many cases, we struggle to find the right way to prioritize, especially when there are many factors involved, and many team members and stakeholders with conflicting needs.
In the episode, we met with Harry Max, a product leader, Managing Partner at Peak Priorities LLC, COO at productOps, and author of “Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions”. With his extensive experience building products, and following his TEDx and South by Southwest talks, Harry found himself diving into many discussions about prioritization. This later on launched his journey to write the book.
In Managing Priorities, Harry gathered many priority related tools, but first started it with the DEGAP framework, which helps put everyone in the mindset of the need for prioritization.

- Prioritization is not the end result, just an input to our decisions and eventually, the actions to take
- Eisenhower Matrix - what is it, how different people might use it differently, and how in some cases it can help us in our prioritization process
- The important of “cost of delay”, and how to use it in our prioritization discussions
- Precision vs accuracy - the importance of words and understanding what they mean to each of us
