Weekly Async Updates

We maintain a practice of weekly async status updates to ensure clear communication, track progress effectively, and maintain transparency across our team. This process aligns with our core values by fostering collaboration, driving results, and promoting efficiency through structured communication.

Timing and Frequency

• Team members post updates every Wednesday
• Updates are required for all assigned issues
• Multiple updates may be needed if working on multiple issues
