Description

Justin and Jon dive into the growing backlog of features, bugs and tasks, and talk about how they might better manage it as a two-person team. A big new milestone is reached!
Jon had a bit of anxiety over the growing backlog in Clubhouse
New ideas were being thrown into an unscheduled list, but weren't yet actionable.
Some ideas can be left alone for awhile and revisited to see if they're still worthwhile.
Ben Orenstein wants to delete your entire backlog.

6 week cycles like Basecamp does might help out - but what does that mean for a tiny team?
We hit $20K in MRR in under a year!
