Y3: The Seasons Begin

For reference 2022 is considered Year 0. This is the year that everything changed, and I was introduced to the concept of seasons as an organization tool.

Finally many of the projects that have been brewing underground will reach to the surface, and hopefully sprout their first leaves.

Our Secret Project will be in the wild, while Manifesting Empathy will be ready to follow the sprint schedule throughout the year.

Season 1: 1/20 - 4/25

Season 2: 5/26 - 6/20

Season 3: 9/8 - 12/12

Each year is divided up into three Seasons, which in turn are divided into three Sprints of four weeks each.

Each Sprint is then separated by one-week breaks, that are used to review Sprint progress and trajectory. All courses and coaching operate on this calendar, as it enables a calculated product iteration, availability and release cycle.

Season 1: January-April

This is the season for new products and new-twists to old-products.

The Interlude: May

May is the month of rest and review; do we want to continue with our new products and modifications, or do we want to reset to something else for Season 2.

Season 2: June-August

This the time to get good, we've got the idea down, now we solidify it.

Season 3: September-December

Now that we are not just familiar with the product, but comfortable; it's time to play and start to perhaps experiment.
