Join us!
In collaboration with The Center for Entrepreneurship at Monmouth University, we're stoked to invite you to join us a the next Jersey Shore Tech & Design (#205) event.
⚡️Finding Focus: How to Prioritize When Everything Feels Important
In fast-paced startups and growing teams, everything feels urgent and important. New feature requests, bug fixes, stakeholder demands, and endless “must-haves” can pull your attention in every direction. Whether you are coding, designing, managing, or building the business, figuring out what to focus on can be overwhelming.
In this session, Lauren Masterson breaks down the reality of prioritization and shares practical frameworks and strategies to help you cut through the noise. You will learn how to make clear, confident decisions about what to build and ship, balance short-term wins with long-term goals, and align your team and stakeholders around what really matters.
