Now that we’ve all dived into the deep end of remote working (thanks, #covid-19), it’s time product managers take stock of which tools and practices will help their teams maintain both focus and motivation. Previously PMs enjoyed the co-location perks of in-person stand-up meetings, watercooler chats, and live dynamic brainstorming. But without those opportunities for nuanced face-to-face communication, how can you lead your product effectively?

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses worldwide are switching their mindset and employees to working remotely. This change has introduced us to a myriad of challenges: whether it’s juggling the reality of working with your kids in the house (read: zoo), ensuring you maintain a healthy work-life balance, or finding the right tools to help you get your work done.

With COVID-19 in full swing, today’s businesses must adapt faster than ever. Travel restrictions, quarantines, and business closures are all having a detrimental effect on our economy, way of life, and livelihoods. As product managers, we are the linchpins governing the decision-making process, requiring constant communication with our stakeholders. On a good day, this comes with many difficulties, but during a pandemic, when everyone is working remotely, these challenges multiply exponentially.

Every Product team likes to run their product management processes their own way. We all know that. Prioritization, workflows, dependency management, and sprint planning all look and feel a bit different depending on the team. Yet, when you need to collaborate and share information you still want your entire team to work from the same source of truth. That’s quite a challenge! To help achieve this we are rolling out two new features we are very excited about: Saved Views and Shared Views.
