Roadmap Q2 2024
This section outlines the different items that our teams plan to work on during Q2 2024.
Before we cover them in detail, we’d like to give more context on our approach to roadmapping.
Themes approach
We have recently started using themes as a key driver to organize our team’s quarterly work. A theme is a specific problem or opportunity that our teams will focus on during the quarter. We use themes because:
Themes facilitate collaboration and communication among teams, because everyone is on the same page as to what to focus on.
We can make meaningful progress in one topic​, rather than small progress in many.
Themes help prioritize important topics alongside urgent ones​ on the day-to-day.
The theme of this Q2 2024 is digital ordering flow. The digital ordering flow covers the guest journey from selecting a store for ordering (pick up or delivery) to paying for it and viewing the order confirmation details.
Note that this does not mean that we won’t do any work on operator improvements – rather, it’s a deliberate mindset to prioritize operator experience problems.
In addition, all improvement work is part of a continuous process. There will always be more improvements to work on in different areas, and we will always be re-visiting themes.
Development and Discovery
Each team has recorded a video explaining their Q2 2024 roadmap. You will see that most teams cover two main sections – development items and discovery items.
Development items: this is the work that markets plan to execute on during the quarter. Discovery has been performed and have a clear idea of what needs to be implemented.
Discovery items: our teams have identified a series of potential problems and opportunities. During the quarter, we will work on defining those items. The outcome of discovery is to have a well-defined problem, with clear success metrics and any insights to ideate solutions. Discovery items are not to be executed on in the current quarter but rather defined so that they can potentially be addressed in subsequent quarters.
