Hello Everyone,
Hope you have nice vacation plans for the end of the year. I am writing to share a different kind of plan, though :) -- In the last 3 months the reading team has worked on a process for open strategy planning [0], in order to define priorities, and align tests and products that the team works on, with broader movement goals.
Given the strategy work, planning for Q3 (the next quarter: Jan - March) is different; the team is sharing its roadmap for Q3 and Q4 [1], as well as the actions planned for Q3 [2] early on. Despite all of the strategy work and planning, these documents are still work in progress; adaptations and changes are likely to take place, given the time frame and tests included. However, the team is sharing early in order to accommodate feedback. You can also add suggestions for Q4 (Apr - Jun), as long as they align with the roadmap.[3]
The team is sharing its plans early and openly, looking forward to broader participation, whether by feedack and suggestions in future planning. We trust that the open process will help with better engagement and more lessons to learn on best practices.
Enjoy December and excuse the cross posting.
All the best, M
