Project Planning
Projects must be planned in such a way where their implementation does not lead to operational disasters. So, when launching features, new campaigns etc., go through the following checklist:
Stakeholders
- [ ] I am building a feature for user group X, how might it affect (unintentionally) other user groups?
- [ ] How will existing employers feel about this feature?
- [ ] How will existing helpers feel about this feature?
- [ ] How will existing kids feel about this feature?
- [ ] How will existing merchant partners feel about this feature?
- [ ] How will our BaaS partner react to my feature?
Processes
- [ ] Do we need to make changes to the Admin panel to manage this feature?
- [ ] Do we need to make changes to Posthog to manage this feature?
- [ ] Does building this feature need to us restrict or rework other flows e.g. PayNow?
- [ ] Do we need to make changes to any other internal tools or services to ensure the smooth running and servicing of this feature?
Marketing
- [ ] Does launching this feature require a website update?
- [ ] Does launching this feature require an App Store description update?
- [ ] Does launching this feature require social media description updates?
- [ ] Does launching this feature require any other marketing changes, on social media campaigns, budgets, or any other, which we have not already taken into account?
- [ ] Does this feature require translations?
