The symptoms we usually find
Everyone has a candidate, nobody has a number
Ideas are collected in slides and spreadsheets, but none of them carry effort, feasibility or expected value — so no one can decide what goes first.
Prioritisation happens by seniority
Without data, the loudest stakeholder wins. The result is a first project chosen for politics rather than payback.
No shared definition of done
Because nothing is scoped against a process baseline, success is argued about after delivery instead of agreed before it.
