Key takeouts

There’s no single ‘true’ way to work within each different organizational structure. Each company has its own way of working. Sometimes the engineering team can be on the same floor in the same building or sometimes thay may be half the world away in a total different timezone.

Communication is key and ensuring that everyone has easy access to the relevant information they need if you are uncontactable.

If people are working across different tools — such as Asana, Jira and traditional ticketing — then you need to agree upon a single source of truth. You also need to use integrations to ensure every tool and every team member is working off the same information.

Remove any ambiguity so that developers and other team members not only understand exactly what is required, they also understand why it is required.

• Give developers instant access to all the information that they need to deliver features and fixes faster including annotated visual feedback from users, session replay videos and relevant system, user and session information (automatically captured in the background).
• Use the feature portal to keep everyone on the same page and prioritize activities by letting users see what features are coming and vote for the ones that will add the most value for them.
