Make priority explicit
When everything feels urgent, a visible backlog and pull-based workflow force useful tradeoffs.
Startup workflow
Project management for startups that need to ship before they need governance theater.
Keep product, launch, customer, marketing, and operations work visible in a lightweight Kanban system. Add process only when the company actually earns the complexity.
Early teams have one real resource: attention
Keep functions together
Product, marketing, sales, and operations can use shared workflow conventions without needing the same detailed process.
Recognize progress
XP and visible completion can help small teams notice wins during long stretches where outcomes are still uncertain.
Start simple
- Backlog
- Ready / This week
- In progress
- Blocked / Waiting
- Review / Verify
- Done
Add specialized states only when the workflow repeatedly needs them.
Build the system after you see the bottleneck.
