In general, I like it a lot. I wonder if we could use vision and mission on our website rather front and center, maybe with carousel-like stock or AI image on a cover page.

Also the finer grained action items are great. 👏

The only thing that I miss a bit is the direct link to tne newsletter. What the document does for the newsletter, is set a certain quality standard. Yet it lacks a campaign type of thinking. So how about:

What frequency are we looking at? Given that there is blog post, we could go for: monthly or quarterly newsletters. The latter would also align well with our 30-60-90 evaluation periods and it become a 'tradition' to write a more comprehensive newsletter for our audience about the progress.

What do you think ?

Thank you for the great feedback.

I agree with you, the newsletter strategy needs to be developed further. I like the campaign type thinking, but also see the newsletter as a regular update to the community on progress.

We could do irregular campaigns, and then a monthly newsletter. I initially thought of a bi-weekly newsletter, but that's probably unrealistic, both in terms of workload, but also content.

I am going to work on the newsletter strategy until our next sprint meeting.

Maybe it's just me but I could not think of anything I'd want a weekly or bi-weekly newsletter for. To me, monthly should be the highest frequency we consider, if not quarterly or something in between. I guess I good digest and well edit newsletter is worth more.

If the purpose was to nudge people more, I'd rather go for Slack communities and social media, because:
