Harmonizing Across Product & Engineering (Cross Team Collab)
summary
Two product and engineering leaders describe concrete rituals and tools: a 15-minute daily sync to keep information flowing, dogfooding Workflow Builder and a platform AMA channel for asynchronous visibility, bottoms-up roadmap setting with OKRs and prototype-the-path-to-production experiments, and decision logging with a gavel emoji streamed to a spreadsheet plus DACI for clarity. All-hands focus on team demos (once-a-year intentional offsites supplement remote equity), explicit role clarity, and planning horizons of quarters not years.
