In this video, I discover that our team is the only one not doing daily standups! Seriously, Richard explains the disciplines they use in a remote WFH world (Melbourne was locked down hard, hard, hard at the time of recording). So we discuss some of the challenges there.
The summary is:
- Airwallex form “squads” that are spear-headed with Product Manager, Designer and Lead Engineer
- There is an over-arching SME strategy.
- Quarterly and Annual OKRs trickle down through the organisation.
opportunity decision trees (Teresa Torres, see Opportunity Solution - - Trees for Product Teams to ideate potential solutions to OKRs”
- Triaging of solutions (see Don’t build shiny objects)
- Monday planning meetings – where broader goals for the week within sprints are agreed
- Daily standups (!)
