💊 Pain point: Lack of clear objectives

‍

In my experience, the key to successful teams is a shared understanding of small and large goals among core members (UX designers, developers, testers) and extended stakeholders (business partners). This alignment is critical for minimizing friction and misunderstandings. When onboarded to a team as a new team member, I take advantage of being curiously unaware and ask lots of (stupid) questions. The insights gained from these inquiries are transformed into two main communication tools:

‍

😅 Interactive Mindmap: This encompasses detailed sprint plans, engaging the core team, and offering a clear direction to extended team members who prefer a broader overview. Although the core team often translates these into Atlassian or Microsoft platforms.

‍

😅 Dynamic Management Presentation: Crafted in Miro for its creative flexibility, it's a tool I prefer.

‍

This content effectively encapsulates:

✅ Objective Mapping

✅ Roadmap Development

✅ Stakeholder Alignment

✅ Transparent Communication

✅ Milestone Setting and Tracking

✅ Adaptive Planning

✅ Empowerment and Ownership

✅ Performance Metrics

✅ Continuous Development Culture

✅ Leadership Support

‍

This approach boosts team confidence in their mission and garners greater trust and autonomy from management, positively influencing team morale and individual perspectives. It unlocks the immense creative potential within individuals, replacing the fear of making mistakes with a culture that welcomes ideas and improvements.

‍

Furthermore, AI enhances our ability to convey clear and understandable messages, resonating more effectively with the intended audience.

💡Innovative Idea/Take Away: Utilizing ChatGPT’s new Assistant feature to train it on your project could be transformative. It allows team members to ask individual questions, bypassing the common hesitation to inquire in group settings and simultaneously reducing the team lead’s workload.
