Communicating with your project team
Details
We have the following communication methods within our project teams
- Slack
- Slack is the primary method of day-to-day communication with your team
- It's best to use your project Slack channel over 1:1 communication, as having a discussion in a Slack channel allows other team members to observe and contribute to the discussion
- Use Slack threads when appropriate to reduce clutter. See this guide to threads.
- Github
- If you want to have a more focused discussion on a specific feature or topic, you can communicate within Github issues or within the pull request
- You can tag the relevant team members by going @username and they will get an email
- Weekly meeting
- Upon commencing the project, the project team will decide their weekly meeting schedule
- Weekly meetings typically last no more than 30 minutes and are led by the Project Lead
- Content will be around what has been delivered, if the project is on or off track, and ultimately what we want to update to the client
