The Notion team uses this database to track all product and engineering work. Every project includes key information to help teams like Legal, Sales, and Marketing understand what is being shipped and why. The customizable properties allow us to track the status, project descriptions, and launch dates side by side. Within each project page, we embed a filtered view of the tasks related to that project, as well as link previews for Github and Figma. This way, all our work is kept in one place. This template is part of a larger product management system template - read more about how we use it in this blog post.

As a busy manager with a large number of engineering positions to fill, you may not have the time or resources to set up a complex hiring tool.

We use this product management system to keep track of all our product and engineering projects, as well as communicate updates to the rest of the company.

To create a professional proposal for a new project, it can be helpful to gather all relevant content in one place and share it with your team and client. This can make it easier to communicate with agencies, freelancers, and clients and ensure that everyone is on the same page.

As a good leader, it is important to avoid having double standards. If you expect your team to write updates, then you should also be willing to write them. Our Chief Product Officer, Madhu Muthukumar, sets a good example by writing product updates every week and sharing them with the entire company. This was one of the initiatives he implemented during his first 90 days in the role in order to build trust and foster teamwork, particularly as our product and engineering teams have grown and expanded across multiple offices.

Company goals are an important tool for driving focus and morale, but it can be easy to lose track of them in the hustle and bustle of daily work.

By using this template, teams can systematize knowledge transfer and collaborate on building out their company goals, ensuring that everyone is working towards the same objectives and making progress towards achieving them.
