Startup Planning: From Yearly Vision to Daily Execution

A vision without a tactical execution plan is just a hallucination. Here is how to cascade your goals.

The Vision Deficit

Founders are great at envisioning the 5-year future, but terrible at translating that into what the engineering team should code today.

The SLR-CAMERAS Framework

Start with a 1-year Success Peak. What does victory look like in 12 months? Then, use MC-BEERS to break that into 90-day quarters. Assign specific teams to these quarterly goals.

Daily Execution

Finally, your daily standups should not just be 'what I did yesterday'. They must tie back directly to the MC-BEERS quarterly goal. If a task doesn't serve the sprint, cut it.
