We all know just how important the ability to collaborate is. But how often do we practice what we preach?
Whether with an early-stage startup or big tech (Amazon/AWS), I've frequently witnessed teams, even adjacent teams relying on each other to hit the same quarterly goals and metrics, working completely siloed.
At my last company, Better Agency, an early-stage SaaS startup, I discovered many opportunities for teams to connect + collaborate.
A few examples:
Our Product Manager and I built out the company's Notion account, including a product roadmap, UX research and product discovery database, and user feedback session log.
An example at a much larger scale is an initiative I led at AWS: The Startup Content Library, originally launched in 2020. After confirming the problem space, I wrote a proposal to leadership for the creation of a unified content library for our startup customers.
Once approved, I worked cross-functionally with SME's from all service teams as well as third-party contractors to bring the concept to life. While the resource hub has been through continued iterations since, you can view the current version here.
