In [[Project_Management/2011_Q4|Q4 of 2011]] the project management initiative team was kicked off to evaluate how Mozilla internally plans and prioritizes projects to ensure the highest possible success rates. It was determined that a majority of our projects require multiple teams to complete those projects and the company was growing at such a rapid rate that transparency and clear priorities were required to be able to achieve our goals. A [[Project_Management/2011_Q4/Updates/Project_Funnel_-_Short-Term_Proposal|short-term solution]] was put in place, but it was in no way a system that could be sustainable. Project and program managers in the company already use a number of non-connected spreadsheets and wiki pages to aggregate their projects and adding another spreadsheet to the mix was not going to magically resolve the issue.

A [[Project_Management/2011_Q4/Updates/Project_Funnel_-_Short-Term_Proposal|short-term solution]] was put in place to collect all requested projects in a single spreadsheet, but it was in no way a system that could be sustainable or scalable.
