#HowTo : Clarify Priorities
Channel: Danelle Jones | Tribe Leadership Retreats
Date: 29/12/2020

Holiday season and you're probably about to be (if you're not already) bombarded with goal setting and invitations to reflect and refresh :)

I wanted to take a slightly different angle and put together this little vid teaching one of my core transformation frameworks: The Single Backlog.

I've never really set new years goals - it just didn't quite resonate. But what I do instead is make sure that I'm continually grooming my focus and building that momentum and rhythm through consistent review, practices, reflection and re-engaging… throughout the entire year.

Whether you're a goal setter or a rhythm-maker it's ultimately about the same kind of question: where should we focus, to have greatest impact?

The Single Backlog is a framework I use in the office to help clarify priorities and set alignment in organisations. It works at the executive level, or at the team level equally well (albeit with different content, but the process is the same).

I also use it in my home life (nerd alert) to help me stay focused on what's important, and as a sanity check for my decision making when the bigger stuff comes up.

Enjoy the video! There's three elements to building the single backlog - understand the work and where it comes from; build a the big picture; and the bi-weekly (fortnightly) forum.​​

Send me a pic of your walls!! I'd love to see how you implement this in your own teams :)
