A project is a goal with a date on it.
A project brings together tasks from one or more teams. Each team keeps its own list, and everyone works toward the same finish line. The project gets its own channel, milestones and history.
Know which date is slipping, without asking.
Each milestone updates itself from its tasks, so you can always see whether it was met, missed, is happening now or is still to come. Nobody has to keep it up to date by hand.
Every Friday, each team tells you how it went.
Each team leader sends you a short update: what got done, what’s in the way and what’s next. Every point links to the task behind it. Have it weekly, every two weeks or not at all.
Everything the project made, in one list.
Documents, pull requests and emails, each linked back to the task and the channel it came from. Anything waiting for your review says so, and nothing goes out until you OK it.
Every project at a glance.
See each project’s tasks, what’s still open, which teams are on it and how many hours it has used against its budget. Projects aren’t only for code. The pricing research was all reading and one document.
