Definition: PRINCIPLE 17 - Plan and Prioritize Daily
By Tom Onquit
In the AI era, AI-augmented work can be completed in less than an hour—including prompt iterations, human review, validation, and approvals. Because work moves faster than ever, the status of any backlog, in-progress queue, or completed list can become outdated within a single business day if not actively maintained.
Plan and Prioritize Daily means establishing a consistent practice of reviewing, ranking, and refreshing work priorities every day—so that effort is always directed at the most important, most time-sensitive, and most strategically aligned work. It is not about creating more process; it is about ensuring that the pace of AI-augmented delivery does not outrun the team's ability to direct that pace intentionally.
