Choosing work by leverage
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
rank candidate problems by how much they change outcomes for many teams.
Planned topics
- Score each problem: teams affected, size of the pain, cost of solving, who else could solve it.
- Prefer problems only you can unblock; delegate what others can do.
- Write down what you decline so the choice is visible.
- Revisit the ranking every quarter; leverage changes as the organization changes.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
a scoring table for four Platform 2.0 candidates (shared pipeline, incident review process, identity consolidation, a single team's refactor) with teams affected and an effort estimate.
Check your understanding
Why can a hard problem in one team rank low?
Show answer
It affects few teams, so leverage per effort is small.
