On: Ask HN: As managers, how do you make sure your distributed team is aligned?

Well, they are not written in stone. We have quarterly V2MOMS and we change their content during given quarter if that's better for the team.

Sure - nothing is written in stone?

Have you found it effective to discuss the actual method of how you'll accomplish something months before you're working on it?

It seems like it would almost always change for development - maybe in other areas it's more useful.

We do V2MOMs not earlier than 2 weeks in advance. Usually we just write down things we already decided to do.
