Instead of booking repetitive meetings, establish these solid communication practices in your software project.
💎 Well-written commit messages telling *why* you made *that* change. Use the Conventional Commits spec.
💎 Functional tests describing how you intend your functions, classes, and interfaces to be used.
💎 Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) for proposing and explaining significant changes to the architecture.
💎 ARCHITECTURE.md file for a birds-eye view of your technical solution.
💎 README.md file for efficiently onboarding new team members.
💎 CONTRIBUTING.md file and a Code of Conduct for making your open-source work inclusive and enjoyable for contributors.
A common denominator for the above is that they are included in the version control. No Confluence or external wiki sites, no messy email threads, and no digging up information from Slack messages. Only plain text files preferably formatted as Markdown.
