    Airwallex: Cadence, Rituals, Okrs, Standups

    Airwallex: Cadence, Rituals, Okrs, Standups

    In this video, I discover that our team is the only one not doing daily standups! Seriously, Richard explains the disciplines they use in a remote WFH world (Melbourne was locked down hard, hard, hard at the time of recording). So we discuss some of the challenges there.
    The summary is:
    - Airwallex form “squads” that are spear-headed with Product Manager, Designer and Lead Engineer
    - There is an over-arching SME strategy.
    - Quarterly and Annual OKRs trickle down through the organisation.
    opportunity decision trees (Teresa Torres, see Opportunity Solution - - Trees for Product Teams to ideate potential solutions to OKRs”
    - Triaging of solutions (see Don’t build shiny objects)
    - Monday planning meetings – where broader goals for the week within sprints are agreed
    - Daily standups (!)
