[Roadmap] 2022 Q2 Sprint 2

[piamancini]

Context & Strategic Focus

Open Collective builds our platform in 6-week sprints, with a week-long break every two sprints to review our strategic objectives:

• [Strategic Focus] Simplification  #5486
• [Strategic Focus] Communication #5487
• [Strategic Focus] Interoperability  #5488

If you'd like to know more about how we work check out this document and this video explainer.

Prioritisation

Every six weeks we invite members of the team to share ideas that are high impact and aligned with the strategic objectives. We discuss these ideas together as a team prior to running a final prioritisation call where we commit to projects for the next sprint.

We also run a poll to inform the process you can see the results here:
