Dima and Slava count priorities and discuss how having to count priorities is a problem in and of itself.

  • Dilution of terminology: priorities, KPIs…
  • “Focus” is a good alternative that is expressly singular
  • Priority: importance vs ordering
  • Does priority get most time or the best time?
  • One with 10 priority tasks gets to choose what the true top priority is
  • Priority management cultures: collective and individual
  • Does need for prioritisation arise having a lot more work that one can do?
  • Have a stack of priorities and be very explicit about them
  • Limit number of top priority items that you have at any given time
