Product Update: Episode 8 Prep

Our regular Product Updates give you a rundown of the features and bug fixes that were rolled out over the past week, plus a look ahead to some of the bigger changes that are on the way.

This week is full of planning meetings here at DoStuff HQ. Not only are we in the homestretch of Summit prep, we're also wrapping up Episode 7 and planning for Episode 8.

One of the most important parts of this planning period for the Product team is going through the DSD Queue to figure out what projects need more focus over the next few months.

Prepping DSD Queue For New Episode

Just as a quick refresh -- here at DoStuff we break our year into periods we call Episodes to assist in planning. An Episode ranges anywhere from 2-3 months depending on the time of year and what else is going on.

The week of planning between the old Episode and the new one is especially important because we need to decide where to dedicate our limited manpower in the coming months.

We'll have a full Episode 7 recap and Episode 8 preview coming soon, but in the meantime you might enjoy a peek into part of the planning process. Over the past few days, you may have noticed the Product team combing through all the tickets in the DSD Queue in Asana and segmenting them into buckets for E8 prep.



These segments have been used throughout this week by the product team to identify what's been generating a lot of DSD tickets lately and where they may need to focus their time over the next couple of months.

If you have any questions about what projects get picked for an Episode, it may be useful to go back to this exchange from the last Episode recap and to keep an eye out for the full Episode 8 preview in the coming weeks.
