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 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
