Abstract: 

As your business expands, not every service requires the same amount of attention and rigour devoted to it. Grab faced the same problem as it grew rapidly and expanded into different markets beyond ride-hailing. We then came up with a way to define a Critical Path for the business which allowed everyone to be aligned on where time and rigour needs to be invested.
