DraftsRoadmap-for-may-2026-05-11

Plan — May 2026

Plan — May 2026

May Focus

Sylvie / Rufus / Armelle — comms strategy and content calendar (next 6-12m). This is the #1 priority. Everything else deprioritized until done.

Outputs:

  • Design system
  • Second Renaissance website
  • Instagram mockup
  • Comms strategy
  • Content calendar

Jarleth — preparing content backlog and other areas of responsibility e.g. courses development. No content sequencing/timeline yet — wait until comms strategy done.

Valerie — praxis ecology / tenzo course and white paper.

Matthew — Ops

Yoyo — Away

Appendix: conclusions from 2026-05-08 chat of Rufus and Sylvie

Rufus + Sylvie discussing sequencing for Life Itself / Second Renaissance work.

Core problem: Too many parallel streams, no clear priorities, no per-person clarity & milestones.

Desired output: Simple calendar — each person, what they're doing, when it's due.

Proposed sequencing:

  • May: Rebrand + Second Renaissance website (phase 2 design system). Only Rufus + Armelle. Everything else deprioritized.
  • May (background): Jarleth producing/organizing content backlog — not releasing yet.
  • June: Roll out rebrand, start publishing content.
  • July: Continue + events.
  • Aug: less active (vacation?).
  • Sep: Course launch, magazine launch event (contributors, webinar).

Key decisions:

  • Magazine can go online anytime, but formal launch event → September.
  • Podcast series after rebrand — no pressure to record before announce.
  • Substack: not regular yet, maybe later.
  • Max 2 major parallel workstreams at a time.

Tension identified: Magazine launch event in June creates stress because it sequences after rebrand must be done — conflicts with rebrand focus.
