#053 — 4 tools to leverage visual communication at work

Communication made simple, with José Mota

If you're part of a product team, chances are that you talk about solving certain problems on a daily basis. Teams who use Scrum, for instance, plan their work together every day. Part of their process includes understanding where they are in the context of their sprint goal.

There is often the challenge of discussing those goals from a text file, maybe a product requirements document or a Jira ticket. The time spent writing that kind of information is considerably higher than if you were to either talk about it or draw it. This challenge becomes more significant when someone or everyone is working remotely, and it can become increasingly simpler as the team adopts new methods.
