Now that we have adapted to managing teams remotely, optimizing productivity becomes a priority. Doug Gaff, VP of Engineering @ Zapier - a well-known fully remote company - has a conversation with Emma Tang, Engineering Manager @ Stripe about remote hiring, creating high-bandwidth communication, and how to measure productivity. We explore productivity concepts like Kaplan Meier and “innovation accounting.” We also cover topics like, how to prevent developer burnout, how to use “waterlining” to discuss priorities and how Zapier uses hashtags to increase their communication bandwidth. As a bonus, Doug shares his personal remote work routine and some of the novel ways he uses Zapier integrations for personal productivity!
