In our Weekly Planning Process we like to have people self-assign work based on their interests and skillset. Everyone in our ‣ should be considered as a candidate for a given ‣. Project Managers can proactively assign work to folks they want to “book” for that specific task.

🏅Principles

• Balance. We try to assign work between Core Team members and Contributors based on availability and the needs of the company at any given time. The Big Board Boss [WIP] should make this clear.
• Efficiency. Different staff have different costs. Blending seniorities within a project/task can lead to ideal results at a lower staff cost, improving profitability.
• Fairness. We like to get work to our people consistently and predictably, and should avoid overloading one person while leaving another person without the hours they want.

📏 Rules

✅ Always…

• Ensure that ‣s are staffed with qualified assignees
• Ensure that each assignee has the opportunity to ask questions and get support. Set up meetings when needed.
• Use Contributors liberally to diversify our workforce and facilitate growth

🚫 Never…

• Overload one person or burn someone out
