The Develo Idea Pipeline: pitch to launch
A simple, repeatable way for anyone at Develo to take an idea — a module, a tool, a fix for something that annoys us all — from a rough pitch to a launched, credited release. Nothing here is decided. React, comment and vote as you read; we'll shape it together on Monday.
Client work pays the bills. Internal builds make us better at it.
Most of us have a thing we'd fix, automate or build if we had a sanctioned slot to do it. This gives that slot a shape — and makes sure what comes out of it gets used, documented and credited.
Career growth
Own a build end to end: scope, tech decisions, release. Try the tool you've been reading about. Pair across seniority levels without a client deadline breathing on it.
Less repetitive work
The same Magento module, the same Hyvä snippet, the same onboarding checklist — built once properly and reused across pods and clients.
Shared ownership
Ideas come from anyone, not a roadmap handed down. The person who pitches it stays its owner. Releases are demoed and credited in the open.
Four stages. Low barrier in, high visibility out.
Click a stage to see how it would work. Tell us whether it works for you, needs shaping, or you have a concern — and leave a comment against the stage itself.
50 minutes. Built around doing, not listening.
The plan for Monday — with a running clock so we keep ourselves honest. Bring pain points and half-formed module ideas; there's no such thing as too rough.
Three things that stop this dying after week two.
Back the ones you think matter most. You can back all three, or none — what we're looking for is where the energy is.
Got something already? Pitch it now.
This is the actual Propose form — three questions, no more. Anything pitched here goes on the board for Monday's clustering and vote. Back the ideas you'd want to work on.

Too much process? Not enough? A stage that would never survive a busy sprint? Say so here — anonymously if you prefer. Everything on this page is a starting point.
