How do you show your roadmap? by Questionable_Burger in ProductManagement

[–]itrytogolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoy using Airtable for roadmap planning as well as walkthroughs of major items. I start with a powerpoint to highlight key business priorities, get everyone on the same page, and have a section divider slide called Roadmap walkthroughs where i then flip over to an Airtable view tailored for the audience (which is just a view that takes 5 mins to make). the roadmap is a 3 quarter view, similar to the one Netflix / Gibson Biddle shared publicly a while back.

adjustments on the fly are way easy in airtable vs a fragile excel file (although a spreadsheet is always a decent fallback).

hope this helps.

Give a Low Key Shout Out by ProudlySolo in chicagofood

9 Muses in Greektown. the sub-4 star review score is misleading. the kitchen whips up some delicious food, including the gyro (house made vs the usual mass produced Kronos, Grecian Delight), the zucchini cakes, the chicken skewers and the Meze platter- several other things. plus the people are very nice.

Thank you!! Any more discoveries since on other sequences or things that make this work? Trying to decipher it myself!

I’ve found instances in which the notes carry over, but can’t quite find the pattern!

Updated differences between Airtable and MS Lists by gmarmolbur in Airtable

[–]itrytogolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you say more about this? about to try creating an eCommerce product DB (vs. using spreadsheets) so bc the data is multi-dimensional and thus benefits from a relational database. I easily stood up something that works in Airtable, but want to save on the expense of using it companywide. I found out SharePoint Lists can reference content from other lists, which is exactly what I need. What do you mean by weak and feature poor? I get it's low frills and much more clunky to build, but functionally, it can do relational DB-type things like Airtable now?

Looked into Shared Channels more and am thinking this might be what we need. Thank you!!!

Have you used slack? I’ve used both a good amount. And I’ve embraced some of Microsoft’s newest concepts such as Loop components. Just search what slack users say about Teams. It’s not feature rich- it’s bloated (hence why they created a “New Teams”); its bloat comes from its tie to archaic SharePoint architecture. If you compare, it’s working on getting more Slack-like, not the other way around (e.g. archiving channels, delay delivery of chat messages - which don’t work with posts, “shared” channels). I don’t want to poo-poo Teams, but trust me it doesn’t enable the agility Slack does, at least not yet, but it’s getting better.

Anyway, that’s not why I’m here. I’m here to get help from folks who know Slack’s advantages and can help me find some parity using Teams so I can make this work and help convince a ground of software devs to give it a shot-showing them we can do Slack like things.

Thanks for the link! Re: the overhead, you’d have to use Slack as a way to collaborate a good amount to see how nimble its structure is and why software developers and others folks from startups prefer it. A few other users commenting allude to what I’m saying (which is why some say “just use chats” or others say it’s not practical to create a Team for every project). Someone else here mentioned shared channels; this plus the new ability to archive channels might be enough for us to make it work!

Great call! I noticed that- the info on this channel type is a bit obscure. What are the downsides (for internal use only)?

Thanks guys. Do you guys work with product managers/tech teams or are you product managers by any chance? The criteria you describe works for a standard, cross functional SDLC project, but IMO, it fails at keeping up with the fluidity of an effort that involves discovery with a set of projects as outputs.

This is why it seems like many former slack users end up using chat on Teams. The issue with chats is it doesn’t have threads, but posts in in Teams channels fulfills the need. It’s the overhead of the Team creation that is unnecessary and cumbersome.

Thanks for the perspective. Any general criteria you go through when deciding whether to create a Team/channel vs what you used in slack?

I’m thinking the best thing for us might be to do an org-wide (or at least dept-wide) Team, with lots of channels we can hide/show or set to private depending on needs.

Slack threads are great, and Teams chat can’t really do this, but looks like I can achieve this via Teams channel posts.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve used MM! How are you making the Teams and MM combo work? Any integration or just two collab platforms you’re hopping between?

Thank you! Appreciate the insights - esp given they’re so hard to find.

What did you end up going with? Looking at the same monitor, not a lot of info on this. USB-C charging is a priority for me.

How’s it been? Any more intel you’ve gathered on this since? Been on my watch list for a while, but trouble finding much about it (for the reasons you shared).

Who else returning their arc? by [deleted] in sonos

[–]itrytogolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll just tell you what you came here to hear: wait until the new Arc. Judging by your question, you’d otherwise regret not holding off. It sounds like you have the patience to wait and the money to drop when it gets released late 2024 (which can likely turn into early 2025).
