An inside look at how Figma ships product

By Coda | A new doc for teams. - 2021-01-15

Description

Designing the fastest way to keep an entire company up-to-date on our roadmap using a Coda doc and a bit of social engineering.

Summary

When I started at Figma, we tracked progress of our product roadmap through a weekly centralized meeting dubbed the "Coordinator Meeting."
But I didn't want to be the one to bring yet another tool into the workplace, and it was clear that people were already finding value in the meeting.
And it makes it natural for people to follow up on promises they made in previous updates.
It was important for people to express support and be able to emulate the "ooh that's awesome," or "congrats" that would otherwise have happened if we were going around the table sharing all updates.
