Step 3 — Prioritize problems

Now, take the problems you found, prioritize them, and decide on timing. I like to use the Now, Next, Later format.

Now should contain precise, well-defined items that are committed for the next quarter,

Next should include items that are planned but may need more discovery for the following 2-3 quarters,

Later should encompass strategic initiatives and ideas that need significant research or depend on earlier deliverables.
