It’s a fairly uncontroversial statement that Slack has changed the workplace communication space. Over 12 million daily active users can attest to the value of the product and the paradigm shift that it has introduced.
I was lucky enough to chat with Bear Douglas, Director of Developer Relations in order to get a look into how Slack functions internally, both in terms of how they think about meetings and communication — including how Slack uses Slack.
Bear’s team has an interesting setup for managing Slack communications, where different use cases and discussions are split out into independent channels instead of throwing everything into the same chat.
In addition to these communications, Bear sends up a weekly roundup in the public channel with 3 items that shipped, 3 upcoming releases, and links on other activities going on within the team.
