Drumbeat campaignstorm, and scenarios reboot.
Last weekend at MozCamp EU, we rebooted the Drumbeat scenario planning process and started a campaignstorm. The first cut at Drumbeat scenarios turned out to be too much cathedral (sketching a full year plan on a big theme) and not enough bazaar (rough scaffolding plus lots of campaign ideas). We changed this at MozCamp, getting 40+ people to brainstorm simple campaigns that they’d actually be interested in helping to run. More Drumbeat campaignstorm, and scenarios reboot.
