- understand web analytics, learn SQL, and machine learning concepts
- They will understand exactly how they are contributing to the team — even when they cannot physically be near their teammates.
- Once the “why” behind the work is clear — the team needs to focus on “what” they are doing and “when” it needs to happen. For instance, I have a high-level product roadmap that I often share on video meetings. Colored swimlanes showcase upcoming areas of focus and how those areas map to our goals. It keeps everyone on track towards big milestones. And it is a lot easier to see on screen than tiny cells on a spreadsheet.
