Turning a message into a repeatable workflow process
Message asks for product changes
The situation
A message was received asking for specific changes to be made to a product, including turning a task into a repeatable workflow process. The task involved finding a person's goal from various sources such as email, video transcripts, and voice or face recordings. The message was important as it had been discussed before in other meetings and was supposed to allow for the creation of a repeatable process for anything, not just a one-off instance. The goal was to make this process valuable for any domain, including examples like tennis.
What they weighed
Act on the message and verify the result
Keep it as context when no action is called for
What they decided
Act on the message and verify the result
Why
The message asked for concrete product changes and each ask was matched to a commit or lane that would deliver it. The task of finding a person's goal was important and needed to be turned into a repeatable workflow process. This would involve checking each ask against a commit or a live readback, or the running lane brief that named it.
The first step
Open a lane to turn the task into a repeatable workflow process
How they would know it worked
Each ask being live on the app with its commit or delivered by the named lane with a live picture
How it turned out
