Waldo

Each quarter, the product team plans the new roadmap together. Then they open it up for discussion with the rest of the team so everyone feels good and confident about what's to come. We use ProductBoard to manage customer feedback, feature prioritization, and roadmaps.

The roadmap is also shared with our investors and customers because transparency is crucial for healthy work relationships.

We run one-week sprints from Wednesday to the following Tuesday in order to have fast iteration cycles and keep a high velocity. 

The Tech-product team has a 15min daily call every morning to be able to sync, address blockers and get clear visibility into what's going on in every project.
