How do you consider strategic initiatives when prioritizing?

When prioritizing tasks, it is important to consider the company's strategic initiatives to ensure that the team's work aligns with long-term goals.

To do this:

• Identify key strategic directions and goals of the company.
• Assess how each task or feature contributes to achieving these goals.
• Use weight coefficients or categories (e.g., "high impact on strategy") when evaluating priorities.
• Include business representatives and stakeholders in the prioritization process to understand the strategic context.
• Regularly review priorities, considering changes in strategy.

For example, if a strategic initiative is to enter a new market, tasks related to product localization should be given high priority, even if they are not technically the most complex or urgent.

Thus, prioritization becomes a tool for implementing strategy, rather than just a list of tasks by urgency or complexity.
