Hi Guys, I have a questions for you…

Hi Guys,

I have a questions for you: Do you think we need another slack bot that helps teams do remote (text-based) daily SCRUM standups, or is the market saturated?

In general, how do you think about creating a product that already has a bunch of competitors? (How much of a USP or special features do you need/want)

Thanks so much! (first post)

    Few things to consider before building a product that has a strong competitor in the market

    1. Can you sell your product in less amount than competitors?
    2. is there any extra feature that you can embed in your product that makes you stand out among competitors?
    3. Is there any untapped market for the product that is not considered by Competitors because of their size? For example, Small business, middle-sized business, individual and freelancers; Find your target.

    The company I work for uses Jell and Jira.

    One thing I'd really like is if Jell could connect to Jira and automatically fill in information or let me autocomplete bug/ticket numbers.

    I'd love if we did text-based Scrum standups, but most Scrum teams insist on getting on a Hangout (or similar) call to connect verbally. Personally I find it annoying but I understand the reasoning. I once wrote a bot that scraped my active Trello cards and pushed a summary to Slack once a day but then we moved to verbal standups and that was that.

    For me a knowledge sharing tool would be more useful. I never got any meaningful insights from a daily stand up.
    With the current team I am working in we talk a lot already, so we don't see benefits in daily stand ups (we removed them). However, a tool like StackOveflow for teams https://stackoverflow.com/teams would be perfect because knowledge get easily lost and is hard to structure and maintain.
    I don't see many competitors for this and we cannot use StackOverflow because we can only use on-premise tools.
