Tasks to improve communication

[sandraberjan]

Overview

We need tools for better communication to prevent misunderstandings that cost time/effort and lower morale.

Background

Misunderstandings set us back.

The Content Design team is taking on the yuckiest pain points in our team's communication.

Our goal: more clarity, less frustration!

Our game plan: Attack the enemy from multiple sides.

Action Items

This issue is a master list of sub-tasks we are undertaking to improve communication.

• [x] Create a FigJam for Content Design Team to collaborate async
• [x] Create page tables for the pages in the Figma Kit
• [x] Create an infographic to help define the Figma Kit
• [x] Create a place where we can "namestorm"
• [x] #496
• [ ] Make sure all team members understand our Kanban board and how we work on it
• [ ] Initiate: PM create a roadmap overarching all our initiatives to avoid any subteams having to wait for handoff

Resources/Instructions

Each item on the list should be made into a new issue. If you want to take on one of the tasks below, checkmark it, then create a new issue and assign that task to yourself.

Since opening this issue, I have learned:

• we need a clearer workflow process for the content team
• I need to assign tasks with more detailed instructions and clearer scope
• The tasks I assign should have a corresponding GitHub issue that is assigned to the one person working on it

The alignment doc is in the final steps of completion:

• [ ] Sandra do final edit to align with agile methods
• [ ] Fill in for our two products
