Triage feature requests coming from every direction

Built on
Teresa Torres · 2021
Supplies the filter: one outcome, an opportunity solution tree under it, and weekly customer touchpoints. A request that can't be placed on the tree isn't ranked at all.
Ryan Singer · 2019

The prompt
My situation: [describe where requests come from, roughly how many arrive a week, how big the backlog is, and how decisions get made now]
