Prioritization Problem
between improving onboarding and releasing a new feature in that was highly requestedShort Staffed
on backend, so we had to order our goals based on what we could achieve without backend supportLimited Support

→ we went through a prioritization exercise and set a new goal to split time between research and feature requests since we didn’t need dev support for research and could make more of an impact if dev stayed focusedShort Staffed
→ we decided to ask other teams for a few hours of their backend resources to prioritize significant backlog items such as security updatesLimited Support
→ we decided to play to my strengths in research and let me lead our continuous research and ad hoc initiative while playing a supporting design role to the senior designer
