Sometimes the terms collaboration, brainstorming and empowerment get mixed up and since Uclusion is a great tool for all of them it can be confusing. Collaboration is “the action of working with someone to produce or create something.” Even if a PM provides all details its still collaboration and its still hard. Explaining in English precisely enough that computer code can be written makes PM / engineering communication a real challenge.
On top of which customers can be indecipherable, priorities change and technical realities intervene. That’s why a Uclusion Workspace is a great place to collaborate on requirements
- When you change requirements everyone will be notified and automatically see a diff
That’s a lot easier than entering a separate backlog item for every single requirement and much easier to maintain.
- You receive notifications and see highlighting for the structured comments entered about the requirements and comment can be resolved when addressed.
Once the requirements are understood engineers can start creating stories based on those requirements right in the same Workspace.
- When someone needs help on how a story will be implemented you will be notified and it shows in a separate section of the Uclusion swim lanes
- The options you need to weigh in as the PM are discussed and approved right inside the story
Instead of a long ambiguous email thread or group chat everyone knows exactly what was decided and how.
- If you need a rough idea of when the requirements in the Workspace will be complete ask the engineering team to maintain the Workspace date of completion field. That displays right alongside the requirements you have input and you will be notified if it is changed.
And if you need to go back to customers for clarification don’t start one of those long ambiguous email threads with them either. Use a Uclusion Dialog instead.
