   Best for story mapping I've found so far

   I've been user story mapping for a number of years. Tools on the web has never been a strong point for story mapping. Avion is the best I've found so far. Personally I'm using it in conjunction with Azure Devops to manage our planning and delivery processes.

   Still lacks a few things such as tagging, but I asked them team and this is planned on their upcoming roadmap.

   🏁 Competitors: StoriesOnBoard, FeatureMap, CardBoard, Miro

   👍 Pros:    Easy integration|Easy user interface|Ux

   👎 Cons:    Lacks tagging

• Automating standups using GPT4 and Github APIs

  We think GitReport could replace standup apps like Geekbot. So we're making it into a product. More Git features are coming, like tracking issues and pull requests. Source: 8 months ago

• Agile / Scrum

  We run standups every day, however only 2x of them are a Teams call.

• As an IC, is there anything I can do about super cheerful team members using up meetings time?

  We use Geekbot to help standups. The feedback from each dev goes into a channel, then we talk about things that need to be addressed or things we're working on. Source: over 1 year ago

• Scrum Has Failed the Developers

  Back in 2005, I remember working on startups running on Scrum principles. It worked well at the time, we where able to ship, grow the team, and move forward with a nice few-features-per-week cadence, working remotely, on a small team; less than 10. Tt always worked fine, but very slow, as all-dev-things were at the time. I worked with ActiveColab in 2007, Skype 2007, Yammer 2009, Trello 2011, Pivotal Tracker 2013,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• In Story mapping, how do I keep track of different solution choices for a single story?

  Agree with others that outlining these details in a story's description is the way to go. Another tool for you to check out (I helped build it): Avion – Story Mapping. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is your favorite product management tool?

  To give some recommendation on a non-mainstream tool: I really enjoy using avion.io for a side project right now. Source: almost 3 years ago
