Democratic
Everyone on your team can scope and write issues throughout the week. You’ll each get 10 votes to put toward the issues you think are most likely to impact your team goal.
Simple
Co-op collects the team’s votes and estimates, then uses a simple equation (votes ÷ effort) to give each issue a priority score. This tells you what order to do issues in: highest scoring first, lowest scoring last.
Measurable
Karma rewards you for productive collaboration and high impact work. When an issue’s done, its votes become karma and are distributed to each contributor.

What about two-week sprints?
Co-op is an alternative operating model. Prioritization is done together, transparently online rather than in meetings or entirely by a leadership team or PM. We think it’s still pretty agile, but more calm and sustainable than constant sprinting.
Is Co-op for open source projects?
Yep, and it’s totally free for smaller teams. We love open source and think more open source projects could be run as cooperatives.
Is Co-op only for engineers?
Nope. Co-op’s inclusive, bottoms up approach to planning is efficient for smaller dev teams and larger design/dev/product teams alike. Having everything prioritized in one place will give you a living document of what your team thinks is important.
