## Agenda

    1. services that take lots of our time
    2. services that are not fully working, suboptimal, require development
    3. services that are outdated and should be dropped
    4. services that do not have any impact on our KPIs 
    5. services that do not have any impact on our users (low usage rate)


3. **SWOT analysis on the services we need decided discuss**
4. **Refactoring of kickstart** (if we want to)
