Pick a single source of truth

Decisions should live in one place—your project tool or a shared doc—so nobody has to search chat history.

Separate urgent from important

Use chat for coordination, not for storing requirements. Requirements belong in tickets or specs.

Write decisions in three lines

Context, decision, next step. That is enough to align the team without a meeting.

Default to async first

Post updates with clear asks and deadlines before scheduling another call.

FAQ

What channel should we use for urgent issues?

Pick one urgent channel and reserve it for true time-sensitive decisions.

How do we document decisions?

Keep a single decision log with date, decision, owner, and link to supporting materials.

How often should we meet?

Match meeting frequency to project phase—more often near deadlines, lighter between milestones.
