Async Product Communication
Keep distributed teams aligned without timezone stacking meetings.
Async-first does not mean no meetings — it means meetings are for debates that writing cannot resolve. Everything else should be durable, searchable, and linkable.
- Decision records replace "we agreed in Slack" threads
- Loom or short video for spec walkthroughs — link from the doc
- Initiative updates on a fixed cadence (weekly snapshot)
- Explicit SLA: "Questions on spec by EOD Tuesday for Thursday build start"
- Thread summaries pinned to the canonical record
