tl;dr:“We’ve been operating in a remote first culture so these rules apply in that context.” The first 5 rules are as follows: (1) Avoid meetings as much as possible. Instead of having them, communicate asynchronous to each other via tools such as Linear, GitHub, Figma, Slack, and similar. (2) Provide at least three days of focus time per week for designers and developers in the team. (3) Trust your team to make decisions, they’re the experts. (4) Default to openness. The team should be sharing what they’re doing whenever they can. (5) Define just the right amount of process. Too much process and it will slow down your team and their performance, while not enough will create inconsistency.
