Channel Structure

Product Channels

The top-level organizational structure for project management:

• Creation & Setup

  • Established by Product Manager
  • Contains multiple feature channels
  • Overall deadline determined by latest feature deadline

• Goal Management

  • Automatic goal creation upon feature channel setup
  • Visual progress tracking for entire product
  • Consolidated view of all feature development

• Membership

  • Product Manager as primary owner
  • All Technical Leads and Developers as members
  • Resource allocation tracking

Feature Channels

Focused workspaces for specific functionality development:

• Team Composition

  • Led by designated Technical Lead
  • Staffed by developers not assigned to other active channels
  • Dedicated to specific product functionality

• Goal Tracking

  • Technical Lead defines implementation goals
  • Developers register contributions against goals
  • Progress visualization through completion metrics

• Lifecycle

  • Active during development phase
  • Marked complete when all goals are achieved
  • Success reflected in product channel metrics

Workflow
